The two lions full from their kill lay on the grass in the warming morning sun. Then a herd of Zebras crossed.
Not too far from the two lions, we spotted their cubs, all full from breakfast. We got incredible photos of them as they traveled back into their den in the brush.
Wilson, our guide, spotted tracks of a leopard and her cub but we've not found them yet.
Baboons galore!
We stopped around 8:30am at the lake boardwalk for breakfast while out on safari.
We had yogurt, cereal, crepes, boiled eggs,
chicken sausage, bacon, toast and jam, fruit and coffee. All were spread on a tartan blanket with silver
plates, cups and cloth napkins.
In the water with what seemed thousands of pink flamingos, were hippopotamuses.

In the mid-afternoon, we were back at camp for Masali Chai tea and cookies. We met Allen and Maggie
from Auckland, NZ.
On the afternoon game drive at 4:30pm, we saw a Leopard cross the road and some Crested Guinea Fowls.

The afternoon ended with cocktails on the Savannah. This was our first camp and we had to tally up the
tips for the staff. We gave Wilson, the Guide/Driver $50, Patrice, the Butler $30 and the Staff $20.
Dinner was grilled Jidori chicken, basmati rice and white beans cooked with tumeric, garlic, curry, onion, celery and grilled vegetables. This is a must-repeat dish!
