I am still alive, having a ball, dont want to leave-but then again whats new. I am currently doing a project where we are recording the animals found in the area we are in, the Tuli Block. We do game drives in the morning and afternoon and then a couple of times a week also at night, and record the types of animals we see, the number, where they are. Interesting work, get some great views of animals, and some close sighings of Lions and Cheetah, just waiting for a Leopard sighing-they are in the area so keep your fingers crossed for me. Also learning tracking so I can identify the different tracks we see.
Will post photos and more when I have more net-prob back in the UK, we have no electricity, power, phone-not much where we are, but it is so awesome!!!

Last day at Moholoholo
Rhino and Warthogs at Hippo feed
With Lion Cubbie
Yes I have been here too long!!!! Locked in a cage ( I was meant to be cleaning it but we all go a bit crazy once we have been here a while)
Giant Baobab tree
Well my last day has finally arrived (3 weeks after it was supposed to!) and tomorrow I leave at 9am to drive back to J'burg and then stay overnight before another 9 hour drive back to Botswana and my elephant project. I have a friend who was here with me and is now at Tuli (my Botswana project), and says it is fantastic, lots of game drives, night drives, game counts, elephant and lions in the camp. Relly looking forward to it
As for here, it has been more of the same old, cleaning cages, getting madder by the day (see photo of me locked in a cage), went back to Nhoveni (part of the greater Kruger NP, and in big 5 country) where we saw lots of elephants, rhino, giraffe, had a poo fight (kinda smelly but good fun), and saw a lovely sunset. On the way home we saw some jackal cubs, so small and cute, just want to take them home.
Not sure how much contact I will have in Tuli, dont even know if there is electricity, so it may be 5 weeks before I post again, dont worry I am still alive, sitll having fun, and will try not to forget you all.
