There are only 12 people in the camp, but we must share the land with others as we had 6 different rigs at a Cheetah siting this morning. One rig had 12 people and we are three rows of 2 plus the front seat for the driver and scout.
We had lunch at 2:30 yesterday, Friday I think, and then off for the afternoon drive. It was 90 something and proceeded out not seeing much. Then we raced off to a rhino siting and saw a male and 2 female rhinos. Big animals.
Saw 2 lionesses and 3 cubs and watched them for a while. Some impalas and giraffes and were late to 'sundowner' because of watching the rhinos and lions, but had our drinks and snacks after the sun had set. Then 1/2 hour back to camp and sat around the fire with drinks and then a good dinner.
Up at 5:45 this morning for coffee, tea, or diet coke. On the road at 6:15 with our same 6 and guides. More giraffes and found a small herd of elephants kicking up roots and eating grass and branches. We drove in amongst them and listened to them crunch sticks with their mouths. They moved on and we followed for a while, then got word of the cheetah siting, so off we went for what must have been 10 miles.
There were 2 cheetahs finishing of an impala and we eventually got within 20 feet and watched and listened to them eat.
40 minutes back to the lodge for breakfast. It is now noon. Someone is napping and I have showered and watched monkeys run across our deck.
Paul informed me the Cougs squeaked by Boise State!
Anyone in Longview is welcome to harvest and tell others. Don't forget about the grapes.
