Well sort of. It only rained slightly on several occasions, just enough to wet my camera boxes but not enough to be of any hassle.
But the effects of the weeks of rain live on. The ground is totally soaked and has no more capacity to act as a sponge. Any rain falling now ends up as run off.
It caught me totally by surprise when I got stuck on Banyini open area. Never had I imagined this to be a problem area and when I got stuck I was in a slight predicament. There were no logs, dead trees or rocks around to put under the tyres. And so it was back to my old habit of hauling out the conveyor belt on the back of the vehicle to use as my only traction. No big deal and I was out.
The day ended in yet another of those great African sunsets. If only I had known it would last so long I’d have filmed it. With all the cloud around I thought the sunset would be brief. But amazingly it went on for about half an hour. Absolutely stunning!

Goodmorning,
Referring to this video:It is recently said (written in the newspapers) that the Reticulated Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) has become rare in Eastern Africa. The main causes are poaching and the civil war in Somalia and Ethiopia.
I was wondering myself: What is the status of the giraffe species and subspecies in Southern Africa?
kind regards,
Douwe
