Wed-
Today was a great day despite a few miserable moments from the Jr. SS officer with me (he's East German, and I can believe his relatives were on the wrong side during the war- to say the least!)
Today we spent the whole day on a game drive and were able to see a male lion along with some females. The male, and one female, were lying down by a water hole, and on the other side was a herd of zebras, so we waited to see if the lions would go after them, but they did not :(
Our guide said it was his first time seeing a male lion here, so I feel really lucky!
We also saw lots of elephants, some giraffe, and some oryx. It's a surreal experience to be only a few feet away from the animals. It's hard not to think that you're on some huge back-lot and this is all staged!
Tomorrow is back to Nankuse til Mon (4am to be specific, but who's counting!) then onto SA!
Ciao,
Robyn
So glad you had the opportunity to go on safari. What an amazing bonus!
ReplyDeleteThat male lion was probably full from the last meal. Darn it!
