A couple weekends ago, we were able to spend some time at a game camp about 2 hours away. It was a great time with our team members and our own family. The kids completely enjoyed being able to run around in woods with mature trees (something they haven’t done much since arriving…everything close by is bush). We had our first stay in a real safari tent. Instead of paying to hire guides to drive us around the camp, we drove our own vehicle. The only thing we spotted were different species of antelope, but to us newbies…that’s pretty exciting.

| The kids took these monkey pictures. They were feeding them figs out of their hands. |

| We still find monkeys quite novel, but everyone here views them like racoons in the states! A nuisance! |

| Sable. The kids nicknamed the big guy beastie black. |

The kids also participated in a fishing competition. The girls were their own team. In 1 and 1/2 hours they caught nearly 40 pounds of fish! They kept Erik and I hopping baiting and removing fish from the lines. They were catching them so quickly they would hit each other in the back with the fish on their lines. It was a hoot!
Come visit soon and we will let you ride on top of our "safari van"
