Jambo... back safe and sound from my safari.. all the boys wanting to know what animals I saw!!  Well lots!  some I cannot remember the name! My favourites were the elephants, lions, cheetah, giraffes and the list goes on...

The camp was beautiful in a great location. My 'tent' was the most luxurious tent I have ever seen! Five star luxury inlcuding running water and electricity, but no mobile signal!

My 'tent' was directly in front of the waterhole which was lit a little at night ... and watch the lions arrive .... very close to my verandah as I sat enjoying the view!  Late I was able to lay in bed looking out at the elephants drinking and washing in the darkness!    My guide to the restaurant for dinner said he watched them close to me and said I was very brave not to run screaming!!  Or maybe just stupid!!!  I think I was hoping someone was out in the dark keeping an eye on things!

The elephants arrived through the night and I was woken a couple of times to their trumpeting and the quiet rumble of the lion's roar in the distance!

Some very unique scenes were caught on film by my jeep party including lions mating, elephants nursing their young and a seeing a very rare antelope, only 1000 in Africa!

It was great to be back with the boys and staff and hear all their news about their day yesterday at Haller Park with the school children and the photos are great - as you will have seen on the website!

Last day for me tomorrow as I fly home early saturday morning (not friday Rui!) and it will be a sad day but I will be back, I know that for sure.

Night all
