It was one of those days. One that you don’t really want to repeat too often.
If I had been in the field all day things would have been a lot better but instead I found myself spending extended time behind my computer screen. Not a happy place for me. Makes me appreciate how lucky I am that I don’t have to spend my whole working day staring at the screen like so many around the world today.
So forget about my rough day. I’m just so happy to be doing what I do.
The wild dogs must have been really lucky this morning as they were all well fed and had little interest in moving this evening. But eventually they did. Not that it was of any good to us. The terrain and country they took us through got thicker and thicker. Until it got to the stage where I couldn’t turn back. So we pushed ahead through some of the thickest and seemingly impenetrable bush. The girls were spread out as flat as they could on the back avoiding being swept off by branches. Like a bulldozer we soldiered on and eventually came out on a track as it was getting dark.
But somewhere in there, in that this mass of undergrowth we came across 3 hyaenas. What they were doing in there is mystery. And there was no way of getting around to investigate.
Happy to be out the ‘jungle’ we headed back to camp.
