August 23: 6th Day – AM Drive (10th game drive)

Bye Bye Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge, originally uploaded by Andrew & Yvette's world travel.

Our final game drive day = (

After seeing so much, we really didn’t know what else we wanted to see. Having come without any expectations, we were definitely overwhelmed with all the sightings we’d been able to see. What would today yield? Wild dogs to complete our sighting of the Magnificent Seven?? Sadly, we didn’t get to see any of them. We were however, able to see the hyenas again. Despite gnawing the elephant bones raw, these creatures had not yet figured out the need to go looking for leftovers elsewhere.

Later that morning, we had another leopard sighting and took another hundred pictures. At this point, my head is actually pounding thinking about all the pictures and video we have to go through. Between the two of us, Drew and I are filling 12MB of memories per game drive!

Alas, the drive ends and we tearfully say goodbye to Ashleigh and Dollom who have made our first ever safari the most amazing experience ever. We have breakfast and we also say goodbye to the fabulous head chef who has fed us so well to the tune of 1+ kilo each for our weeks stay.

Right before we leave, a warthog strays to our suite and oinks goodbye. Yes, it’s been a fantastic trip.
