Jannie and Tjeerd joined the team yesterday..we now have 6 Toyota's and 1 Land Rover.
No water yesterday due to a burst pipe ..but was fixed by today..quite amazing..so we are back to having lovely hot showers.
Had another lovely camp fire last night - wood is fantastic hard dark mapani which burns slowly. Only problem is it costs $5 a bundle and we burn 2 to 3 a night.. but it's baie lekker as Jakes says !!
Last day in Mana Pools before we depart for Gonarezhou.
It is Gail's birthday today and we gave her a bottle of champagne wrapped in the Sandton news tired with foil cut from a wine casket !!
After a leisurely breakfast everyone set off to explore new parts of the park. We came across a kill which was covered with so many white backed vultures we could not see what it was nor was there any sign of animals with full tummy's. Stopped at water holes along the way but still no abundance of game other than a herd of about 150 Impala.
Weather is perfect, blue sky with not a single cloud and the evenings are warm and the stars are fantastic.
30th..just left Mana Pools camp and came across a herd of 8 Eland. Heading back up to Karoi to restock and refuel and will be spending the night in Gweru
