Special time and place

Greetings from Kirkman's Kamp in Sabi Sands near Kruger National Park! It,s bucketing down rain and we are 45 minutes or so from departure on the afternoon game drive. Yesterday, we drove in the rain for an hour plus (not rain like this but enough to make me pretty darn miserable). I had to keep saying, at least it,s not cold! Eventually it stopped raining and we saw a giraffe - hyena meeting/stand off, zebras snuggling, and a bright green chameleon...it was worth a little grumbling...

Today, we went in search of leopard. We left our tracker off to do his thing and while it took some time, he succeeded. Mama and baby...well, not baby but offspring. It was amazing. When he radioed that he'd found her (we were hanging out watching three male lions sleep which is more entertaining than it sounds), he said mama growled at him. Later, I asked him if that was scary and he nodded emphatically. Amazing!

Well, it' s our 5th opportunity to eat, so I will leave you. I will work on posting some pictures...
