If at first you don't succeed....

It was really, really dark by this time, but you get the idea..I was in tears.!

Cheetah mom and her three cubs. Our ranger took us right up to see her, relaxed and eating after a kill.




Here we are sitting in a BAR (!) trying to stay connected. To the internet, that is so don't worry.



Try to do some more pix from here now---we've seen everything we've hoped---saw my elephants last night-but it was dusk---and getting dark quickly, so viewing wasn't as good as I hoped. Went looking again this morning with no luck and it's raining this afternoon so the drive was cancelled. No prob-try to get you all some info.



Here goes...
Obviously we have not morphed into giraffe---I'm just not good at placing copy yet....A taste for you...we'll send more later-I want to quit while I'm ahead..

Pictures Speak Volumes




To go into detail would be impossible right now--when we get to Capetown I'll get down and dirty---for now here's what's been happening...
This is our "house". It's a Tent! When the wind blows the entire place shakes--it's cool.


Our first game drive yesterday afternoon was awesome--the mom and baby above are just one of the animals we saw, but because this connection sucks, we'll send others by email and see if they go faster...
