Well, where do I start!! Today has been another fantastic day! We did absolutely nothing this morning! We were supposed to be helping out with some tree clearing but for some reason it didn't happen so we hung about all morning waiting for something to happen.
After lunch, we went off in a flatbed van (I think that's how you would describe it) and the ranger shot a very sick zebra they had seen the day before. We (as in 8 girls and 1 guy!) loaded it onto the van and took it back to the workshop where we saw it being chopped up for animal feed (I helped out with that too!!).
Then we went onto the reserve again to look for rhinos but didn't see any. We did see zebras, wildebeast, various antelope and giraffe! Our ranger then took us off for shooting practise and most of us had a go at shooting with a magnum handgun :-)
Then we went to feed the week-old tiger cubs - the cutest things on the planet! They still have their eyes closed! And finally we went to play with the older lion cubs and Ben the tiger cub. He took a liking to my left armpit today and I have a few scatches and scrapes from his rather sharp teeth!!
I think we are going game capturing tomorrow!! I am pretty pooped but having an amazing time! I will try to put some photos up on the blog tomorrow - if I can work out how to do it!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteYou have to have a strong stomach in the game parks - I can remember seeing my first kill and crying which was very embarrassing!
Dad and I are still very puzzled that you have tiger cubs we thought there were only lions, leopards and cheethas in Africa!
Dad is getting more and more evious as the days go by - but we are both very glad you are having such a wonderful opportunity and are with a good crowd.
Will send an e-mail with all our news.
Lots of love,
Val xxx from Dad
