The rains eventually cleared later this afternoon and I was able to take my daughters out into the field.
It was great to be out with them again even though we didn’t encounter much.
Some white rhino ran off as we approached Bandama pan and Lindy was busy ticking off her birds desperately trying to get to 50 in the few hours before dusk. Well she didn’t quite make it, but did manage to tick off 35. Not bad for a few hours.
Penny in the meantime was sitting on dad’s lap trying out her driving skills, which got quite hazardous at times. Luckily oncoming traffic is non-existent. But she was testing the health of my healing shoulder, as on many occasions I had to wrench the wheel back to prevent us careering into a tree stump or rock.
Amazing views from the helicopter there, looked great from above
Beautiful, enrapturing, wonderful… words fail. Just a great video. So glad you can bring Africa into our homes in a carbon-cheap (no airfare) manner.
Got to admit it’s the most magical place!
Kim, have you had a chance to look around the Gona-Re-Zhou yet? The area from Chilojo down to the Save Rundi junction is one of my very best places in Africa.
Keen keen keen to get down there but not made it yet. I believe it is quite something else.
