A driving day to get us to Vic Falls - and our final day on Kifaru as we change trucks here. This is because South Africa have regulations against tarps as "windows". The new truck is called Eyeore and there is a glass window for each seat that can be lowered from the top. Will be interesting to see how this impacts photo taking on game drives. We enjoyed leaving the campsite and going for a stroll through the town. We had dinner at a tapas restaurant. The game...

An amazing day!! We were picked up by Ian & Courtney of African Wanderers at 0900 in two land rovers for a day with Rhino, hiking to see San cave paintings & meeting a local Mtebe chief. First was a stroll through the bush to get up close with a herd of 7 white rhino. The dominant male still had his horn because last year when they decided to de-horn all of them in an attempt to stop poachers he escaped. Two of the females were pregnant. They were very ...

We started our day be assisting with the daily elephant training. We worked with Ntombi who is 26 years old.

Tessa here. Today started in the best way and just got better. My alarm was set for 5:55 but it took until 5:59 for me to wake up, work my way out of my woolly hat and start my day of Lions.

We were walking with two lions cubs of 13 and 18...

We started the day with a quick supermarket shop whilst Driver Dave went and got more paper work done to be able to continue with the truck through Zimbabwe. Then we had a 6 hour drive to get us to Antelope Park. It would have taken less time but there were many roadworks, the occasional police check point where much discussion had to be done about where we were going and what was a truck load of white people doing in Zim. There was also rather a long wait at a t...
