April 5, 2010 - Savute Day 1






Well - after a good night's sleep and a hot breakfast in our bellies, we made a plan. We would stay in Savute, one of our all time favorite areas, and wait for Sally or another truck to show up. Jessica was able to swap our Linyanti camp site for the Savute site and she busy trying to swing a game drive for us with another company.

The camp site has this flock of wood hopoe's in it and we really enjoyed watching them. Before we knew it, Sally came rolling in! KB and BK had managed to fix the differential enough to get to us and the mechanic also came in shortly there after with a part that completely fixed it! We were in business again!

That afternoon we went on a game drive. We saw our first ever Great Eagle Owl!!! And sharing the tree with him was a big monitor lizard, the first one we'd ever seen high up in a tree. And lots of zebra!

We crossed the Savute River that afternoon. This is a river that hadn't run in 20 years!

Enjoy!
Cheri & John
