Its newsletter time again – so much has happened in the bush this month, and besides the actual safaris, my thoughts have turned once again to all my friends and previous guests on safari. You’ve all made it such a pleasure to do what I do – thank you! |

| Because we’ve had so many elephant encounters (up close and personal with the big guys) this past year, I thought it may be interesting for you to reflect on just what can happen on safari – and why its so important to be fully aware at all times that these animals are in their own environment and not to be taken for granted.

My last safari was a great pleasure, my guests
were Gail and Garry from Australia – teachers, rugby enthusiasts (painful
conversations around the fire) but more importantly – nature lovers who
managed to get a first this year – a lion kill (buffalo) We watched for a
record six hours as the news of the kill drew in the vultures, jackals and
hyenas. 11 Lions in the pride! Our days and nights were spent under the
resplendent southern sky – a first in seven months for Gail and Garry who
had spent several months in the northern hemisphere before the safari. The
southern cross, the milky way, which was once thought to be the entire
universe, lay her luminous band of light across the sky – our galaxy from
within – and so awe-inspiring we sat and watched as her light bounced up off
the river and sparkled like fire-flies on the other side. |
