We were on our way to the next bushmen site, “the hole in the wall”, when this gorgeous Kudu stood and admired us in the warm morning sun. Wayne and I both asked Michelle if she wanted to take him but she declined, would you have? She shot him with her Olympus instead! Gorgeous!

We climb up, and I mean climbed with a rope in some spots! Michelle doesn't like heights and with Wayne coaching her and me keeping my trap shut, she was able to conquer the mountain, that's my girl.
It’s time to go explore the area we thought had a chance to contain some bushmen paintings we had marked on Tuesday during the buffalo trek.
A view approaching the area
This spot was easily defensible as it was a steep climb up, you couldn’t approach directly from the back as a granite mountain was directly behind and it had a wide field of view for spotting game or enemies approaching.
The feeling of being in an unexplored place where bushmen lived is hard to...

We came across some Zebra and Giraffe. One of the Giraffe, a bull whose spots had mostly turned dark indicating it is likely around 9 years old, was sleeping when we found him under a tree.

We continued our search for game after lunch and returned to the remote reservoir. We sat in the tall grass above the earthen dam waiting for something to come to the waters edge for a drink. Nothing did. The moon, almost full, was rising and quite visible in the late afternoon sky. With Mikes...

We ran across a Warthog that was obviously in distress. I dismounted from the truck and Sam and I put a stalk on the sick hog and dispatched him quickly, I was glad to end its misery. The 165gr Peregrine penetrated the skull through and through.
Wednesday 25 July, Day 8 of Safari:
Breakfast sandwiches to go once again, we aren’t giving up on the buff or eland. We checked out a watering hole that some local intel said a buffalo bull was drinking below the dam, bad intel but a beautiful cold sunrise that morning.
We drive the roads...
