Last images from Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge

The game drive and sundowner at Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge - before Simon broke the ribs. The best sundowner of the trip in terms of drinks and nibbles - we had a gin and tonic with lovely spicy biltong. And the wildlife was reat - spot the ground squirrel, plus zebra, oryx trying to hide behind bushes, and other things I didn't get good pictures of - jackals, wild cats, an aardwolf etc. Nestor was the best guide we had, I think. Plus we had George the resident astronomer with us on the drive, who later on treated us to a perfect view of Saturn and its rings through the telescope at the Lodge.

Oh my darling Sindy, what a trip!! Must say, when you mentioned MedEvac in your email with the link to this post, it was pretty exciting to find out what happened. Oh, the cuts and bruises, how is the ego?? See if that was my family, it would have been me falling down in the dark, no doubt taking out a few children in my wake.

Stunning images, sounds like a great trip, even if you did only use a Nissan Xtrail. Love the hotel images and view from the toilet - yes, gorgeous!!
