Sunday August 10th

Sorry. I was about to post this when the interweb died - so it's a bit late.

Impala tastes good. Dogs and cheetah can't be wrong :-) Our bra'ai included impala sausages. Look, it's not Bambi, OK? Oh – and an elephant. Not on the barbecue, on the other side of the fence.


Unfortunately I am unable to show you the herd of elephant which stopped us on our track this morning as my camera batteries died. The camera is meant to tell me whether I have fully charged batteries. It lies.


Tomorrow I shall have temporary access to wifi, so I will be able to upload some video.


Time for some introductions.


Our monitor and fount of all things wildlife knowledge related is Graeme. He can find a track where there are none, identify a very small bird from a very large distance without the aid of binoculars, but cannot always locate a dog.


Becky is our film expert and general fixer. She is seriously overworked and underpaid, but invariably good humoured.


The other volunteers are Michael and Marcus who are Swiss and friends, but Michael lives in Japan and teaches English there.


Gail is from the USA from near Washington DC. She inspects boats for a living and travels all over the world with her camera for pleasure. In a prvious incarnation she was a rock goddess, traveling with her guitar across America.


Finally Marlene is from Pretoria and is here as a part of a course she is doing on African wildlife. Her current project is wild dogs: her next will be elephants. She isn't a full time student – this is in addition to her 'proper' job.


Second drive today was mostly dogs. I have video, but can't upload it @ the mo.


Have this nice sunset, instead :-)
