Time to get back to camp!

Wonder what it's like to hit the road with us on Safari?

                                           

A short, not very good video of us zoomin through the bush.

We did have to stop when we came across this bull elephant.  He was RIGHT next to the road.

Its a shame there is no way to show perspective here.. It's just difficult to explain how intimidating it is to have an elephant soclosetoyouittakesyourbreathaway.  You think, aww so cool and then you are that close and it's so powerful and amazing that if it even flinched towards you then you may have to clean the seat of your car..if you catch my drift.  I should have taken a video but I was too busy worrying that Matt was good to go on the accelerator justincase.

Amazing.

The thing is, they even get bigger than this! Haven't seen one yet in life, but I know they are out there, I've seen pictures.   This one wasn't bothered by us, he just walked behind us and carried on down the road.

We saw a couple "smaller" elephants on our way back.

You can tell where elephant roam because of the destruction they leave behind as they graze, pull and stomp all the vegetation in their path.

We made it to the gate in time!  It was dark not soon afterwards:

The fun was not over though as it was time to Braai!  

Have I explained what Braai means? It's like BBQ, but they (the South Africans) call it Braai..and they don't think hamburgers and hotdogs constitute  Braai food.  If you have those you expose yourself to derision and demeaning BBQ references, it has to be "real" meat to Braai.  Manly meat you know.

Tony got the coals hot and scooped them into the Braai.

We had a yummy dinner and then it was off to bed. Er. Air mattress.
