A Quiet Day in the African Bush

We were asked what we wanted to do first, and both opted for a quieter day!!

Each morning started with Cowboy coffee around the fire pit, with lots of breakfast options. Although we both wanted a full breakfast, we were good and just had toast!!

After lunch, we went out for a drive, with me enjoying riding on the back of the truck…..

….camera at the ready!!

And I wasn’t disappointed….

Our first sighting were Sable….

They are so stately!!

These vultures aren’t as pretty, but are certainly interesting…..

It was also a thrill to see a Saddle-Billed Stork…..

If you remember, “Sadie” was inspired by a stork photo from a previous trip….

On previous trips, I have seen lots of animals from the air, including a herd of Zebra. We were thrilled to see this herd…..

….and this one a little closer…..

Sadly, this one had a poacher’s snare hooked around his leg. Unless it is removed soon, he will probably not survive!!

Warthogs are ubiquitous here……

We stopped at the third C-11 camp…. Bombala.

As we walked up the path, Ben stopped us and pointed to a print in the dirt….

….telling us that it was a lion track.

Next, he pointed to another, stating that it was a lion cub….

Then he found a hyena print….

…..followed by a Baboon paw print…..

I am amazed at how the guides see all of these!

Dinner that night started out with this luscious peach appetizer…..

….and ended with this decadent desert….

All in all a VERY GOOD day!!

Michael and I love to travel and see new parts of the world and then I love to take those memories and turn them into quilts!!! I hope that you enjoy traveling along with us!!
