Saturday 24 January 2009 - Our last game drive with Pete as he is leaving us today! Title due to Petes descriptive phrase used when male zebra air a certain part of their anatomy! Kirsteen and Pete proceed to have a lengthy discussion, with some extremely imaginative reasonings for such behaviour, somehow I just couldn't find anything intelligent to add!Before leaving Orpen and travelling to Lebata, we spent a good chunk of the day with Derick du Toit, SA education expert in his seriously condensed training programme, which usually takes several days. Our efforts do not go unrewarded as we all receive a colourful plastic lizard for a job well done - obviously South African version of a gold star!
Sandras boyfriend, who is from Guisborough of all places, joins us for lunch and then drives ahead of us to Lebata, playing a game of bush bingo on the way! Awww bless.
The accommodation at Lebata is out of this world, we have a family house, hosting two bedrooms with en-suites, a large kitchen and living area with huge dining table - call Kevin Moore, we ain't leaving! The house is situated close to the river, so we get to watch hippo, crocs and the odd elephant.
Going Wild about ground hornbill, all three of them, they are on the endangered list you know.
