We normally make our reservations in National Parks in batches of days and sometimes when we catch a wake-up it is too late and we find that the park is full at the time we wanted to book. This happened again and we had to go to the Molopo Lodge about 35 km back towards Askham.
The camping at the lodge is quite nice with us having our own private ablutions and a reasonably good restaurant where we had the best mutton necks of our lives. I can also recommend their Calamari.
On this visit, a few Bushmen (San) visited us to sell some of their handicrafts. We befriended them and talked about their lives now in "civilization" and what they still know about the bush and tracking arts their ancestors was so famous for.
We also used the free time and the good internet connection to catch up on this blog and other internet jobs we do.
Below are some pictures of the camping at the lodge, as well as some information about a project sponsored by a person as well as the Lotto.

Nice little shades at the camping sites. A white donkey is used to keep the grass short. :-) |

Little house built for the Bushmen project. Photo taken from a dune behind the building. |

What is left of the house and the good intentions of the donors. |
