Very trying times as we got stuck again on several occasions. Dale and I got stuck in the Maxipiri river. Rather nerve racking at first not knowing what to do as branches would have had little effect. But once I’d decided to deflate the tyres we sailed out of there.
With conditions the way they are, I’m having second thoughts as to whether we should actually be working now and not wait until the roads and bush have dried up more. But we definitely can’t leave without knowing the status of Tjololo and Tjellers. So could be here till it dries out anyway.
We did have female leopard tracks near Charleston koppies which is the heart of Tjellers’ territory, so presume they are hers. We tried to follow up but soon lost the tracks in the flowing water in the road.
Still no sign of Tjololo.
Trying to nap in the early hours of morning is also proving impossible as we get attacked by swarms of mosquitoes. The dreaded thought is always there – are they carrying malaria? We’ll just have to cover all exposed body parts and paste ourselves with insect repellant.
And again we had some rain in the early hours. No sign of the end of the rainy season.
