Tony and Mignon arrived just after nine on Friday morning for their weekend visit. We where so looking forward to them spending time with us at our camp. Friday was spent talking and enjoying one anothers company and preparing food.
We got up at six Saturday morning to go on our first gamedrive with them and after paying for their entrance to the park we drove thru the gates. We stayed on the paved roads because the Honda Hybrid Mignon's sponsored car is riding somewhat low for the gravel roads in the park, we on the other hand travel the park in Mildred she has great ground clearance and the gravel roads are no problem for her. We spent the morning looking for game and although we did not see any Lion or Chethas we on the other hand saw Rinos, Elephants,Giraffe and many different species of antelope.
Between the game drives and preparing food, and time spent talking and joking with each other I realized that Anita and I are so blessed having our children. I had to bite my lip a time or two this weekend not to get emotional, sometimes I am just pleasantly overwhelmed by all the love we receive from our wonderful children.
Sunday morning we went again for a game drive and after stopping at a lookout point a game ranger told me where the Lions where, but after driving some distance on a freshly grated gravel road we could not find them. After talking to other tourists also looking for the Lions we decided to go on our marry way to see what else we could find. And not far from there came across what I think was our highlight of the weekends game sightings. We looked up to the mountainside and there was about sixty Elephants walking on the very side mountain.
When we got back to the camp we prepared our Sunday lunch together and after eating we said our goodbyes and Tony and Mignon left for the big city.
