This is such an incredible experience! We have had the most exciting game drives - so far, white rhinos, giraffes, zebras & babies (yes!), cape buffalo, impalas, lions (yes finally today for us!) leopard & two cubs, hyenas & the devouring of the leopard's kill, got stuck in a ravene in our landrover - in the dark!! We were wildly excited that we had to get out and stand close together in the dark in the bush while the ranger & guide got the vehicle out of the heavy brush. (Linda was with us & had the video tape running...so we thought, but turned out she had the "pause" button on!) This was our first night drive the very first day....what an experience that along with the leopard & cubs sighting, hyneas, giraffes, etc. Sitting 2 feet from the animals from inside the vehicle is so great! Once you get over the fear factor, you are just awed & enjoy hearing the animals chewing, breathing, even snoring. We were right in the middle of cape buffalo herd yesterday. Today, we just returned from a wonderful visit to a nearby village. We went to a school where the little children sang & performed for us. Hard to hold back the tears, they were so precious. Went to a villager's home where the women showed us how they prepared their food. Also, two men's groups sang for us. Lots of sweet, colorfully dressed people all along the way, waving to us. Again, hard to hold back the tears.... This has been THE MOST incredible experience. Repeating ourselves. You are all here with us in spirit. - Michele & Don
