The real deal
... However, the early afternoon freedom of returning to the lodge was most appreciated as it gave us time to relax and enjoy our surroundings. Hanging out in the bar, we were amused by the antics of the banded mongooses (not mongeese!) and nothing could be left unattended else a monkey would nick it in a flash! It was advertised that in the evening at about 9 pm we could go and watch them feed some of the little ...

We gave little kids sweets along the way, and we got to the “Honeymoon Lodge” in Tsavo West right on the border (Voyager Zwani Lodge) situated on a lovely lake, full of crocodiles and hippos.
