Everybody who has ever been on holiday, weekend away or a hiking trip in the Drakensberg in summer will tell you that you are very likely to have your afternoon interrupted by a little, or sometimes a rather big, thunderstorm bringing along with it some thunder and lighting and a few (which could also be quite a lot) drops of rain. Our 10 days at Mahai in the Northern Drakesberg's Royal Natal National Park was no different and while there we had a couple of magnificent storms move overhead. One or two really delivering while others promised and threatened and then only did enough to dose a braai fire or two before the sun broke through again.
Luckily camp is just over the ridge but don't waste too much time getting there...
A campsite cricket game was called off and shelter sought when this one suddenly showed itself from behind the mountain...
A wormhole bringing alien spaceships? Nope, just a mid-afternoon thunderstorm moving overhead.
I hope...
