Day 77 Thamalakane Lodge

Decided to do a long game drive around the Third Bridge area and then down to Black Pools – we were originally supposed to have another day in the park but there has been a bit of confusion and we are booked into a lodge near Maun tonight so have to be out of the park by 4 pm latest. One of the most interesting parts of the drive to Third Bridge was actually the bridges – there are actually 4 timber bridges in total and they are brilliantly made. We also got to see a wild tortoise  but we wee really cross that a lady in another vehicle stopped and picked it up to get a photo with it!




The area around Black Pools had much more variety of wildlife with dozens of zebra, tessebe, elephants, kudu, impala.  Just about to turn to drive to the gate when we spotted another leopard asleep in a sausage tree – another stunning view of a leopard.






Drive to lodge took a couple of hours and we were greeted by a rather rude receptionist – not quite the welcome we have come to expect but we had a lovely dinner by the riverside.
