DRIFTING Thro The Kruger listening to The RHYTHMS of the Bush

This morning we were woken by a Go Away Bird so friendly it took bread from my hand and came up close he was grey with a cockatoo very tame. So many fab birds

A day just drifting thro the bush from camp to camp. Listening to the amazing sounds and rhythms of life. A baby zebra suckling its mother. enormous elephants and buffalo and just out of this world views of the Olifants River at lunchtime
Arrived at Letaba Camp at 4 - again by a river with lots of hippos and babies and deer wondering around the camp. In rondavels again and many people were using the braais outside their units which looked fun Had dinner early overlooking the river and hippos - delightful
We went on a night drive which was interesting saw a jackal hippos and nightjars
AND we still haven't seem a lion!

In the Kruger there are 1750 lions. 1000 leopards. 120 cheetahs. 13700 elephants 35000 zebra 4500. crocodiles and so on So we hope to see lions tomorrow

It's now hot 35 deg so thankful for air con
