when Karin took us to the waterhole, the herd of 7 zebra we often see on the cam,

gave us "a tourist view " Eye-wink

It will take me a long time to look through all my photos, choose the best ones and make webpages for them.

So for the time being, here are 2 photos of tree squirrels we saw near Shingwedzi. It was the best tree squirrel sighting I ever had.

Gerda & Katja......what a wonderful experience!  And the photos are fantastic!  Thanks so much for sharing them.  We all have the dream.....but only a few will actually realize it.  How nice to be able to "live" that dream through you.  The fact that you got to visit NK & do a drive-by on-cam was just the icing on the cake for me.  Thanks, again, Girls!
