Still at Tuli

So I am still alive-loving it up in the bush. Am currently in town to renew my visa (Botswana only gives you 30 days at a time). Have had an amazing two weeks of interesting and unusual sightings-so lucky. Started with Bushpigs (not common in the area), then Bat Eared Foxes (very shy), and a Leopard that night (OMG!!!!) Then we saw Honey Badgers (rare to see), and more Bushpigs then Bat Eared Foxes during the day (normally nocturnal animals). We then saw an Aardwolf (first on this property, rarer than Leopards) and a couple of days later an Aardvark (my second for the holiday, very lucky). We then saw Bushpigs again, a herd of over 90 elephants Cheetahs on a fresh kill. To see any animals is amazing as the area is so remote, large, and the animals arent used to humans or cars, so just run away when they hear or smell us (unlike in game reserves like Kruger where they are used to humans).

Will post more when there is time, and I am back in the UK, as well as photos I promise!!!!
