Good morning Africa!
... are fed every 3 hours from large baby bottles and drink on average around 15 pints per day (depending on size of elephant!). The first 6 elephants came bounding out of the long grass, running along to meet their keeper. In this group, the oldest was 15months (quite big!) and the youngest only 1 month old - very cute! After their feed, the elephants wandered around the people, letting you stroke their hairy sand-papery skin. They also liked to ...

Early day for me, got up at 6:30 am and off the door by 9am. Meet with two CSers, Protos and David, we spent pretty much the day together. They took me to this local place for lunch (which by the way only cost $3 USD) had collard greens, smoked lamb, salad, and Ugali (cornmeal). Getting to this restaurant was quite interesting, do not ask me where it was because I could not tell you, a bunch of back roads and a couple of blocks where before entering they told me not to ...
