We saw jackal during
the day time whichwas unusual
since it normally is a nocturnal animal.
The scenic views along the rivers were
awsome in their beauty with the
elephants and crocodiles matched
against there natural backgrounds.
Dean, I had extreme pleasure discussing
your country and the worlds problem spots
in route from the park to Johannesburg ...

... width of 30 miles. At its widest point, the park is 37 miles wide from east to west. Several rivers run through the park from west to east, including the Sabie River.

That evening we dined under the stars in the open air with a large fire blazing in a fire pit.in the center.The food was tasty and ...

... On another occasion we returned to our accommodation after a particularly fruitless morning drive, wondering where all the animals were, only to find an answer to that question a little sooner than expected. Our cabin overlooked a bountiful river and we were pleasantly surprised to find an elephant splashing about in the water by the opposite bank on our return. Our pleasure swiftly turned to astonishment as more and more appeared from ...

... at a waterhole) are empty due to the lack of water. However at the Hippo Pool which gives a nice view of the Crocodile River, we spend more than one our to observe a herd of elephants grazing the weed in the river banks, and crocodiles taking their sunbath. In the river hippos chillaxing from the afternoons heat. After the dinner at 2100 we have one ...

I woke up feeling a little better, I didn't feel sick anymore but had the aches and a sore chest. We headed off but 20 minutes in, I really regretted coming and wish I stayed back at the camp. My chest was really tight and I wasn't quite sure what was going on, this was gruelling - I had never felt this ill before in my life. We stopped for breakfast and I managed to force a bacon sandwich down, then ...

... means you need only drive to where other vehicles have congregated to see lions, cheetah or other big game. We were pretty lucky to see lion under these circumstances but we did see them, and only about 10 minutes after entering the park. Without a guide who probably had a good idea of where they would be, we probably would have missed them. They do have maps set up at the lodges in the park where you can place pins based ...

... was up to Satara and back along the Mozambique border. We had a good sighting early morning while crossing a bridge, all the hippos close by suddenly took off through the water, very funny to watch them as they leapt though the water to escape us.

So I think I wrote to you about being kicked out of my hose, well not really kicked out, but can no longer use their kitchen and bathroom. So now I am truly living like a South African. I will have to put a picture up of my new bathroom facilities behind what I call the "children of the corn" patch. Also my bathtub, I mean bucket in my bedroom. It's not really bad. I have adjusted to that part, but cooking sucks. I still go into the house to cook, and they haven't said anything. I ...

... it was funny. Nobody understood it, or thought i was funny. Small things, honestly, not much to laugh at! I have had three rape cases come in ths week under the age of 16. I keep stressing to my victim Empowerment and the Police force, capaigns in the scool. Rape and Domestic Violence is real, and it is difficult for me to see it and not understand what is happening! "LOST IN TRANSLATION" so I had a Police officer stop me the other day, and say that he was worried about ...
