Dead Tree in Savute Channel

 

Savute Channel has not seen water for 32 years and there it is!!!!!!
Since February this year water is flowing into the marsh.
The whole area has been transformed into a paradise with a difference.

 Panorama showing part of the Savute river where there was just dust for so long.

Some More Wildlife around our workplace.







One of our resident warthog offspring visiting the workshop backdoor in search for some juicy marula fruits.
I really tried to get a picture where one can see the juice slobbering from their mouths but they did not oblige.
Still such a pleasure to be able to share their space with them.

Who is hiding in the rocks?

This Puff Adder was lying just in the middle of the parking area at our shop.
We could barely see it lying there.
This is quite a closeup shot.

Planet Baobab

We recently took a break and visited Planet Baobab, on the edges of the Ntwetwe Pan near Gweta. Here are a few images that I captured.

Wild Hibiscus flower, 
much sought after by these beetles
One of the other very colourful and interesting dwellers of the baobab trees at Planet Baobab
This frog is only about an inch long from head to tail, and has metallic green stripes. It would not oblige by sitting still for me to get a proper photo of it.
