Beastly Fang: 10/17/18

The 4:15 alarm not welcome, however we dressed warmly and staggered out into rain for an amazing three and a half hours amongst the animals. First rain here in many months and the landscape will be transformed. As for Rally, we huddled snugly under gigantic ponchos in our convertible safari trucks. Not enough praise can be heaped upon these worthy diesel vehicles, quiet and smooth running, yet as capable as elephants in mowing down the landscape.
We immediately struck leopard gold, tracking up close and personal a coy female being lured to new territory by an intruding and gorgeous young male.

Then hyenas, lots of hyenas, following the wild dog family we saw last night. Watching six young pups frolicking and jumping logs made us laugh. The five adult dogs sat alert between the large hyenas pack and the playing pups. As one they rose and chased off the enemy with a good bite in the ass to the closest one.

Now time for watching dueling giraffe 🦒. Their swinging necks look like slow motion ballet yet they strike with a resounding thud and can injure.

Damp, hungry and excited, Rally shared the sighting tales of their different safari trucks over a lavish breakfast. Laurie headed to Fang maintenance while I recaptured a couple hours lost sleep. This is working for me.

Joel, our driver and Robert,the tracker will take us in search of white rhino during the upcoming evening safari drive.
Wish you were here with us for this exhilarating experience.🦒🦓🐆🐘🦏🐃🐒👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
