The next morning Amanda drove slowly and without a care in the world through the bush hunting with her binoculars for the wildlife. They saw large breeding herds of elephant with tiny tiny babies. Elephant never cease to amaze, they are such huge beasts but so quite and gentle; to sit and watch them interact is a memory many of our guests take home with them and never forget. Amanda and friends startled themselves more than the three lion they saw as they came around a corner; mum and her two cubs playing in the morning sun.
Stopping for breakfast of homemade croissant, fruit, coffee and fresh juice they watched a large herd of wildebeest and zebra who seemingly took no notice of them at all. Walking down into the river bed to see the tracks left in the night, and yes, there were Amanda's leopard tracks! She might not have kept awake long enough the night before but he had visited, she was so happy!
Eventually they arrived for lunch at Sasakwa Lodge and wow! They were rather late but that is the beauty of having your own private guide and car! Sasakwa is incredible, rather like a palatial home from a time gone by. The vast vast views across the plains are awesome; the attention to detail amazing and the food was delicious! Many of you who have met Amanda know that it takes quite a lot to impress her!
