Last night, we heard hyenas and lions around the campsite. Woke up early to leave by 7 for another game drive. We saw everything we wanted to see in the morning. We saw very rare leopards (2 of them separately and 1 had a fresh impala up in the tree). We saw 3 cheetahs! 1 was in the scrub and we saw 2 just sitting under trees. 1. Egyptian Geese 2. Vulture 3. Cheetah 4. Leopards 5. Guinea Fowl 6. Topi 7. Crested Crown Crane 8. Owl 9. Lion 10. Reedbuck Already, we had seen 4 out of the Big 5 - elephants, buffalo, lions and leopards. The Big 5 are historically hunted for trophies - elephants for ivory, buffalo for meat, leopards for skin, lions for their mane and rhinos for their horns.  Throughout the morning, there was lots of conversation and commentary about what we were seeing. While everyone else was listening to Flo tell us about how many types of giraffes there are (answer is 3), Andrew, who was so involved in watching the giraffes in the distance through his binoculars, said, "No! There are 5!" - he was actually talking about how many giraffes he could see. Flo was quite surprised for a few seconds though! "Imanda" is Swahili for “they're gone” and everytime Flo talks to Dan and they say that word, Amanda thinks they’re calling her or talking about her. One time, Flo said "Imanda!" and Amanda popped her head up and turned around - the disappointed on her face was priceless as she realised that they were just saying "imanda". We stayed in one place for 30 minutes to find a cheetah which we thought we saw in the long grass but didn’t end up seeing again. We talked about sacrificing our youngest member, Alex, to draw the cheetah out but he was a little reluctant. Flo, Kate, Amanda and Roxy had to pee desperately and did it in a row behind the truck when 2 jeeps came by and saw them. They were spotted by Bec, who was in one of the jeeps coming back from her balloon ride. Flo names her groups different names according to the type of people in them. She calls a group “Pumba” if they are stupid. Pumba means stupid in Swahili as warthogs have a very short memory span – Flo said “they start running and then they forget they were running and just walk”. Returned to camp for lunch and rest before heading out for another game drive at 3:45 pm. We thought we had seen it all but we saw wildebeest and impala near a waterhole with a crocodile in it – they were quite skittish as they could sense there was a predator in the water. We didn’t actually see any action though. We stopped by another waterhole and saw a few hippos lazing around. They don’t move much until the night time, when it’s cooler to wander out from the water and eat their daily 30 kg of grass. Hippos have an interesting way of defecating. They use their tail like a windscreen wiper to spread and fling their poop all over the place. We got to witness this spectacular event… several times. We came across a herd of elephants that walked right in front of our truck, they were so close, you could almost touch them! African food for dinner tonight – ugali, chapati, sukuma, lentils and stew. We had an even bigger campfire tonight.
