We have had three wonderful game drives in Madikwe game reserve. The two morning drives were cold, starting out with temperatures in the upper 20's Fahrenheit. This afternoon, however, the weather is wonderful - sunny and about 60 degrees.
Yesterday afternoon's drive started after "high tea," which was served at 3:30 p.m. A striped mongoose joined us, and Abby fed him a piece of smoked salmon and toast. He was followed by a couple of vervet monkeys, who were chased off with an (unloaded) slingshot. Our ranger, Charl, explained that a mongoose will ask politely for food, while a monkey will steal it rudely. The former is welcome, the latter is not.
Because of a weak internet connection, I will publish short posts rather than long ones. So, more about the game drive later
