Fortunately no one was hurt at Lion Sands. It is very sad though. Fire at lodges is a big problem because there is no local fire station in the bush. Lodges are so far apart by the time they got there the damage would be done. Lodges around do send staff to help fight the fire. They band together in times of trauma. Our ranger at Sabi Sabi went to the fire.

Yes some unexpected events but in the end things worked out well for both group two and group three.

First game drive we went with Joe our new ranger replaced Theo. He was fantastic. Best friend to Jacque and very like Jacque. Good drive, fantastic elephant, two male lions, leopard and a lot of searching for the wild dogs. Unfortunately they were not found. Hopefully tomorrow.
