Ah .. another safari adventure coming to a close. Our big success today was seeing the hyena generations when Mom came home. The babysitter, Adolescent Hyena, was being bullied big time by his 3 younger and annoying brothers.

Our new ROAR 2 folks have mastered some, but not all, of the Safari Proficiency Scale. For all you ROAR 1 veterans, I suggest you pour your favorite sundowner, and settle back into your screen. Take your time .. we can wait.

All set? Here we go

We enjoyed meeting up with Tonya, John, Grant, Dena, Mitch, Bert and Jessie. They are near the front of the pack when it comes to Moonrise over Madikwe (MOM). Our range rover of 7 had two Coke Lights, 1 Dry Lemon, two mini red wines and one full white whine. Our compadres were loaded up with 4 white wines, 2 full red wines, brandy and cokes and the stamina to redefine sundowners to moonrisers. This is one standard we all must strive to meet or exceed.

We have several in our company who live life to the fullest and want to gain the most from every experience. Some new recruits have achieved the JTIT badge - Junior Tracker in Training. Others chose the specialist route. Birders are now BTITS - Bird Trackers in Training. ROAR 1 Veterans focused on general observation guides in training - GO GITS. John/Tonya and Co also eared the merit badge of After Sundown Specialist Trackers in Training Society- ASS TITS. For those with a particular hyena interest, we had those who achieved Wonderful Hyena Adventure Team Trackers In Training Society - WHAT TITS? Others were more successful with Safari Over Madikwe Everywhere Trackers in Training Society - SOME TITS.

Most, if not all, have earned the first time safari accolade -

The Union of Safari Habitat If Necessary, Though Hardly Elegant, By Utilizing Secretions Herewith - TUSH IN THE BUSH

We will need another run at this event, though. The newbies will need us to take them to the next level - Sundowners On Demand (SOD).

Enjoy .. next report will be either from or after the Serengeti.
