Manyeleti and evening safari

At Manyeleti we were staying at Ndzhaka Tented Camp. There is no fence around this camp so staff escorted us to our rooms each night. Except for John and I because we had a tent (room really) close to the main building, up a raised ramp and platform.

We arrived a bit late for our scheduled time so we went straight to lunch which was delicious.

At about 4pm we headed off with driver Elvis for a safari. Elvis stopped a few times to explain about some of the grasses and plants found in the area. He illustrated how the prickles spiral into your socks.

Elvis got word of a cheetah sighting in the park so we went haring off to try and find it. Drivers in the private parks can drive off road so it was a fairly bumpy ride while trying to avoid getting hit by the prickly bushes as we drove around. But after a bit if a chase we gave up and went back to the normal sedate safari.

We had sundowners (drinks and nuts or chips), at a water hole to watch the sun go down. Apparently it was quite safe to get out of the vehicle!

Then Elvis spotlighted as he drove us back to camp. We had a flat tyre along the way so Martin helped Elvis pump up the tyre to get us home. We saw an owl and a chameleon. After that excitement it was time for dinner and bed.Read more
