A Gun, A Beer, and A Camera

This is Festus (our guide) and me having a sundowner drink. Festus took us for a late afternoon walk through the Ongava Game Reserve. As sunset approached, we were surprised to see a Land Rover sitting by itself out in the middle of nowhere complete with a cooler full of drinks and a plate full of biltong (like beef jerky) & other snacks.
