SO WE ARE NOW ON SAFARI.

Been super busy but it is SO GREAT to be back in the bush. Plus seeing people from the 2021 safari just a fantastic group. We at Dulini and all is good. Nice rooms, great staff and the food has also been good.

Some basic details on our first two days. Highlights included.

Leopard in a tree with a kill. Two lions arrived and one climbed the tree grabbed the kill. Sheila got a video of fighting interaction with the leopard and the lion fighting in the tree. We did not get to see all of this but we did see the other vehicles pictures and videos. An amazing sighting. We arrived just in time to see leopard come down the tree. Then we followed the leopard through the bush and he finally climbed a termite mound and posed for us against a pink sunset.

LIONS.
One male with two females. A lion really close to a buffalo who was not aware of her presence. She quietly called for help to take him down but no one came. A mating pair, stunning male lion and a not very interested lioness.\

ELEPHANTS
Close encounter of the scary kind - but exciting. A huge bull elephant. There is a tree the elephants shake to eat the fruit. They elephants were gathered there. One HUGE elephant bull, biggest I have even seen in this area with HUGE tusks, looked at us shook his head (but his ears did not go against his body - that is a sign of “intent to charge”) and walked past our vehicle so close you could touch him. Theh later we parked in the field and the elephants with little ones were around the car. Always fun.

WEATHER
Reallly strange. Not cold in the mornings or evenings and not hot during the day. Dark clouds and white clouds, gorgeous sky, Ken got a shot of a rain falling from a cloud I will post it. I love this weather I hope it continues.

Ken has good shots but no time to work on them yet. I have a few on his phone that I will post below.
