Game CApture contd.
well my 6 weeks at GC is up – sad really
its been incredible: being so close to the animals – and is some cases grappling with them is incredible and summat I never thoughtI would do!
we spent most of our time on the outskirts and then deeper into the Kalahari – beautiful farms with sand instead of soil. catching the animals I already mentioned plus Gemsbok (Oryx) both normal and Arabian types, plus HArtebeest, Blesbok, Bontebok, Eland etc.
the guys who work for Aitjie are a lot of fun too – though a little mad (Tokman looks and talks like the russian boxer from Rocky, Lap looks like a slimmer version of one of the current Sprinbok props – and is like hyperactive, Jan is fairly normal – apart from his collection of 700 knives and Johan is just plain nuts)
Its been good for me too as I drove the bakkie around a lot of the time, helping the boys to move Boma parts a round
on my last day I managed to get a flight with Aitjie over the Kalahari Rangers safari farm (where we were catching)- he took me over a herd (?) of giraffe for photos, which was nice
I WILL post my pics soon honest, no really…well some of them – Ive managed to lose 3 CD’s of photos from Tuli and GC…..I’m just hoping that after they finish the renovations on the Church, they’ll find them again and I can collect them. Heres hoping
