Situated in the heart of the Waterburg and about 2.5 hours from Johannesburg,  Marakele National Park is probably one park I will carry on visiting. Not that it has a lot of wildlife, but rather that the wildlife comes to you when camping at Bontle Camp Site.

Mapungubwe National Park is not exactly a place you decide to go too on a hunch, unless you are my wife and I, situated on the northern tip of South Africa, bordering both Botswana and Zimbabwe, it is a solid 6 hour trip from Johannesburg.

Anyways, this is about living with it and I have the camera for nearly a month.

This is the follow up from my previous post on geotagging.

I had scheduled some time during the weekend, an entire day to be honest, to do some photography and try to geotag… First, the weather was not on my site, cloudy and threats of rain but this did not stop me. Batteries charged, GPS tracking on, backpack ready and off we went, more about the places we visited in the next few days.
