We are IN THE BUSH at a camp called MALA MALA. Been here about an hour and about to leave for our game drive. It is long way here and we were starting to perk up now we are going out.

The vehicle we will be in this morning saw a Leopard take down a kudu right in the middle of the river (a pretty dry river) very close. Only our first safari in Kenya we saw a kill - a lion taking down a zebra but we were jammed in standing up in those silly vans with the open tops they have in Kenya with tons of vehicles around.

We should have come ONE DAY EARLIER--- oh well!!

First it was Marius -- he was great, then it was Hanis he is now manager at Madiwke then it was Gary. I knew he would not be there on our safari but did not know he was leaving. I hear this new guy Heinrich is supposed to be a star and we still have Dave I love him too.

Life changes constantly in the bush in more ways than one. Amazing that Duncan is still manager at Leopard Hills and Warren is still manager at Kings Camp. Been that way since my first trip to those camps.

Those little leopard cups from Roar have had many babies of their own by now if they are still with us.
