Our last morning game drive and bad luck

May 4 our last day at Kirkman’s Camp
Joel wanted to leave early to see the sunrise.

We were tracking the leopard we had seen sleeping yesterday.

Joel (on the left) and Jerry tracking the leopard. These guys were amazing.

In our search we came across a small pride of lions and a group of three rhinos.



During this outing we had some bad luck. First our truck’s transmission went from 4 wheel drive to only 2 wheel drive and we almost got stuck again in a dry river bed. On the way back to camp for breakfast, we got a flat tire. Joel blamed the bad luck on the pink hat he had to wear (see photo above). If a ranger needs help to get out of being stuck he has to wear a pink hat until all the guests he is driving have checked out. One of the couples had just joined us that evening so he would have to wear it for at least three days.

Here ends the blog. I am writing this last post while we wait for our flight to joelLondon.

It was a trip of a lifetime.
