Canonkop and the Zoo.

Pretoria Zoo.

Thomas engrossed in the map of the zoo.
Then there was the Canonkop Hike:

A recent weekend in the bush. Lovely surrounds, but we could not cross the river to hike up in the hills and gullys. A deep hippo channel ran either side of the smallish rapids, far too deep to wade across. Next time we'll bring a small raft - or something.




My bakkie did well on the very rough track.







Gee it's nice to camp outdoors.






On our hike around we almost walked into a hippo grazing on our track, quite far from the river. We took a wide detour to avoid it.
