Some Photos and stuff

Ok so here are some photos of where I live, and some more of the animals that I find on drive :D

Been a while

So i am finding it hard to keep up with my blog, due to a lack of time when the internet is on!!!

What has been happening in the last 5 or so weeks?????

Lots of game drives (the same old same old, seeing Cheetah, Lions, Hyena, Leopards, Elephants, general games) I missed out on seeing the Pangolins that were seen, as well as teh Caracal, they are still on my wish list.

I have also spent a week at our Mountain Project, doing small mammal research, catching mice and shrews. It wasnt the best week weather wise, we spent it in the clouds and rain.

I then went on my week off, down to Cape Town with Lukas, where we climbed Table Mountain (and almost got blown off), went Great White Shark Cage Diving, went on a Huey Helicopter Ride, went to Cape Point, Boulders Penguins. By the time I got back I was ready for another week off to recover, but it was back into game drives, with the luxury of starting at 5.30 instead of 5am!!!! What a lovely sleep in!!!!!

Time flies

So time flies apparently when you are having fun, and it is now several weeks since my last update. On the upside it has been very much the same old same old.

Lots of game drives, town trips (this I dont enjoy, I get to town, do what I have to do as quickly as possible and leave as soon as I can, unfortunately I have had to spend all day there), and lots of data entry in the middle of the day.

I have seen a lot more of the lions in the last couple of weeks, as there are a couple of new lions in one of our bomas (quarentine enclosure) and they have been spending almost all their time hanging around the fence line looking (lovingly in the two males cases) at the new lionesses.

My leopard drought has also been broken, seeing a female up a tree, and one of our big males two nights in a row, as well as our other big male on a territory patrol.

The cheetahs have also featured prominently in my sightings, as well as (finally) some more elephants, including some at base one Sunday morning when I was suprised by a game drive turning up at 6.30am to view the male who was in our garden, and got a lovely sight of me in my pyjamas racing back to my room to put some more clothes on!!!!!

It isnt always the big things that are nice to see, I also enjoy the general game, zebra, girrafe, impala, was very excited to finally see some nyala again, bushbush, warthog babies, kudu, leopard tortoises and of course the many birds, a lot of which I dont know!

The weather is now starting to beging to cool down again, it is getting cooler at night (I am regularly wearing a fleece, athough not many others are, and using my doona pulled all the way up), and slightly less humid.
