We are still driving through the Goegap Nature Reserve, not far outside Springbok. I tried to identify the flowers, but some of them I am not sure of. I will send an email to the Botanical Society to see if they can help me. I any of you can help please feel free to contact me or leave a comment. I assigned numbers to the flowers who still needs to be identified.

Good day friends,

Today we are going back to 10 September 2013. Continuing, our second day of our Tour de Sanparks. Currently, we are still in Goegap Nature Reserve.
I was taking photos of the heard of Oryx; when I saw something move. I zoomed in and spotted a Brants’ Whistling Rat busy eating. We spend quite a while at the same spot. It was the first time that I saw one of these little critters.
