Avontuur

February 12 was probably our best day of leopard sightings. The weather started getting very hot, and on Feb. 13 I skipped the afternoon drive – too hot for me! (They later told us it got up to 43C – that’s nearly 110 F.) But a thunderstorm came in that night and broke the heat, and we had cool weather and rain for the rest of our trip. The night of Feb 13, dinner was in the boma (a round enclosure open to the sky) so we got to talk more to the other guests who had arrived, and to the pilot who’d come in to fly us out the next day.

I’ll post more entries tomorrow with the photos from our time in Madikwe Game reserve. It takes a long time to sort through all of these!
