We arrived on camp after the freezing cold and very bumpy
journey; we were welcomed by the safari team. After a spot of lunch we set off
on our first game drive where we saw loads of elephants and leopard before
watching the sunset over the bush. We then enjoyed a good night’s sleep on
proper beds.
In the morning we were greeted by a bowl of warm water to
wash in outside our tents, before setting off on our days drive. Whilst we were
out on the drive we saw a lot of wildlife including 2 African wild dogs. We
then spent the evening driving around the bush at what felt like 100mph to see
9 lions enjoying their dinner.
As we were packing up to leave we were made aware of a
lions watching our camp, as you can see from the picture it was very big and
very scary.
So now we are all relaxed and ready to go back to work
with Chris on the site.

This is just a little addition – mainly for the benefit
of Group A – to share with them some good news. Finally on my fourth expedition
to Africa, I have seen Giraffes!
On my second R&R (!) I was fortunate enough to see 27
of them either graciously meandering about the Khwai reserve or graciously
drinking at the river. It has certainly been worth the wait to see such
beautiful animals in their natural habitat.
