Day 21: Mon 9 Sep - Robins Camp

13-33 deg C, a beautiful sunny day
Walk: 6km

Another early morning game drive, just the six of us, followed by breakfast. It was then time to catch up on the blog and sort photos which took until lunch time. Had a rest after lunch, then did the afternoon game drive. We did a route that we had not done before to Deteema Springs camp. 

Pre-dinner drinks were had before dinner, mains being a perfectly cooked beef fillet. After dinner, we retired to our rooms to prepare for an early morning departure.
