We had a cool night compared with others, so we all slept well. This morning we had a sleep in – only 6.15am today! Once up we were surrounded by the vervet monkeys again and had a waterbuck walk thru the camp.

We did a morning drive hoping to see more animals, but only saw the usual- hippos, elephant, giraffe, waterbuck, impala and zebra. Oh how spoiled we are!

Once back at camp we showered (I only had a luke warm one, but at least there was water now).

We did a bit more washing – sheets etc and used the camps washing lines, we set up in another site close by waiting for them to dry. As per usual, after about 2 hours, an other vehicle came in and which was camping in this spot… so we had to move. The couple were an older Swiss couple who had the smaller version of our camper set up. They spoke a little English and were happy to show us their set up. We left them to it and got the clothes off the line. They then came down to our site and checked out our camper – they liked this much better as it had more space.

We sat back and watched as, vehicle after vehicle, poured in- a full campsite tonight! Luckily the sites are all well spaced out, and you are lucky to be able to see one other campsite.

As it started to get cooler, we took our chairs down to sit beside the river bank – at a safe distance- and watched the hippos while having a much needed beverage. (David would like to add, that he didn’t consider 5-10 metres from the Hippos a safe distance!) This is really nice.

We have an early dinner tonight, so we can get to the toilets before dark! Don’t feel like dodging Spotted Hyenas tonight!
