Last Night

This unfortunately must be short. Martha and I have one more drive left. I have many posts and great photos of our adventures to put up here but access to internet has been difficult. I will not be able to post things until Sunday likely. So please come back for a look.


Tomorrow morning, the flights back to the US begin.

We are now at Phinda reserve. Simply a gorgeous sand forest area. There are cats here so the time you can be out and about on your own is in the early afternoon when drives are not going on and the light is good here. Otherwise you are escorted from place to place.

Just to give you a quick update on some of the animals we have seen--hippos, hippos, hippos, a large herd of cape buffalo, white rhino, and several wonderful visit with elephants as they played together. Last night we watched the treeline as just about 20 yards from us some 80 elephants emerged for a drink--several babies suckling. Today a big surprise --- two lionesses who seemed to not even notice we were around- sat relaxing near the road. They got up and walked right beside our vehicle. We on the hunt for cheetah this afternoon.
