I am sitting under a shaded tree just chilling out. Bronni got energetic and decided to do 10 laps of the camp ground to if she can be spotted by a wandering hungry lion needing breakfast. Libby is updating her diary and Neil is faaffing around as Neil does. We need this. My bum is numb either from corrugations of the road or sitting still waiting to see an animal and the vehicles need a reorganizing.

Last light was pretty cool as about 8 elephant came rushing into the waterhole.

Traveling conditions are okay provided you are not too fussy.

Each night we are usually camped in the park with the animals and so far we have always had toilet and shower facilities but not always water.

Typically we do try and carry 5lit/day/person but this is spared until the last day so dirt and dust is just a part of the fun.

Neil always lights a fire to keep the critters away while we have tea. Meals are naturally simple.
