Another gorgeous sunrise and a pair of steenboks to greet us out the gate. A group of giraffes pop up above the trees, one mother pushing her baby away from feeding as she is concentrating on carefully chewing on old bones, yes, bones. Who knew giraffes ate old bones!
At a waterhole elephant and Cape buffalo are bathing. A pair of jackals run by. WE see various herds of antelope but the leopard we seek for over 2 hours is staying hidden in the shade of a tree somewhere. Our sister vehicle (Team 2 we call them..) saw the lion family again today.
We say goodby to the German family we have been driving with and are joined by a teacher and two 17 year old US students on a one month exchange to Botswana. They are agape at everything happening here. Also Joe (Italian from Bronx) and wife Stephanie. We get many great one-liners from Joe.
Dinners are typical South AFrican fare and really tasty well cooked food. Nothing is too spicy but there are a variety of chutneys available green, orange and red for level of ferocity!
