So we have had a great stay at Sabi Sabi. Game has been excellent. Food good and gracious hospitality taking us in at the last minute. Yesterday we saw a cheetah, they have not seen Cheetah for months and we all got to see him. Seen the Southern Pride twice, leopard, lots of elephants and plains game. One night coming back we had to slam on the breaks as we turned a corner and a rhino was sleeping on the road. He jumped up startled and lumbered off the road.

This morning I decided to stay in, wash my hair and catch up with some work. I was up having tea with those going out and was struggling - go out or stay in. Up to the last minute I was trying to make up my mind, but I stayed in. The group came back, they saw the Southern Pride, big male, females and cubs on a Buffalo kill. I seldom miss drives teach me to be lazy.

Just arrived at Mala Mala feels like coming home. We absolutely love Mala Mala. Management of Alex and Nerine is perfect, Rangers always good, Trevor the bar man incredible. Serving staff so sweet and attentive. Then you have the best room I have ever had in a safari lodge and outstanding game. What's not love.

They saw wild dogs this morning so I am praying today is Mary Ellen's magical day that she sees the wild dogs. Be back soon.
