Clint's tent at Khwai!

We had a great first afternoon/evening drive as we saw a female leopard and got some lovely shots. She had a cub, but no one seemed to know where she was hiding it at this stage. There was alot of water around and the game viewing area around Kwara/Little Kwara had decreased quite a bit.

Izzy and Gin & Tonic proved to be excellent and we really enjoyed their humour. The following morning we also went for a game drive and this time we saw the leopard in the hollow of a fallen tree, we watched for awhile and then Izzy said 'oh my God there's a cub'! So we all got very excited about that, although I didn't see it that morning.

In the afternoon we went for a motorboat safari, which was great fun. Just the 4 of us with Izzy and Gin & Tonic. We were just about to get out the sundowners for on the lagoon when the boat was revving and not going anywhere. Izzy tried several times and then said 'the propeller is gone'. Lesley and I who were sitting down stairs at the time thought isn't Izzy such a joker, then we heard Gin & Tonic say 'Jesus' and thats when we knew that the prop had really gone.

Keith & Martin who were up top came down and had a look, was very funny actually we couldn't stop laughing. Gin & Tonic started poling our boat towards the big lagoon as the SA family were also out on a cruise. Meanwhile Martin got up top and in his big booming voice shouted out: Jacob, Jacob,... help! God we couldn't stop laughing.

Jacob, Kenneth and the SA family came across and of course there was much laughter then especially from the guide and tracker. We moored the boat up in a fashion on the edge of the lagoon and had to transfer all our us including our sundowners and photographic and warm gear across to finish the cruise all in the one boat.

Sorry got to just go and sort out some stuff, back soon. xxx
