Made it to Londolozi!


Today my mother and I both arrived to Londolozi game reserve. The property is absolutely amazing! From the second we arrived, the service has been completely over the top, and the animals we have seen so far have been brilliant! While we were having lunch, a herd of elephant walked in front of us, and enjoyed a little play time in the water below us, amazing to watch. After lunch, my mom dragged me along to do some "yoga in the bush," which is a new program that they have set up here, which I have to admit was quite nice. It was the first time I have ever done yoga, and it was a lot better than I expected. After that, we went on a nice game drive with David, the ranger, and our tracker, Simon. We saw lots of elephant, giraffe, kudu, cape buffalo, and several leopard tracks. We looked for the leopard and her three cubs, but never found them. Simon has already guaranteed that we will find them tomorrow. I really want to see a leopard while I am here, and David and Simon both told me that leopards are their favorite animals, so I feel pretty confident we will see one tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed! The elephant we saw were spectacular though. We saw them on the edge of the stream, drinking water. The light was perfect, and they seemed like they were almost posing for the camera. Once the sun was setting, we stopped to take a break from the game drive, and were able to stretch our legs and enjoy the sunset, which was spectacular. I can't wait for our game drive tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the morning!
