....before we go for a dawn game drive.
Then we sit outside our tent contemplating how small we are in this amazing world....
.....till it's time for a hot breakfast round the campfire.
Relax in the tent.....
....read a book or write some postcards.
After lunch there is another game drive. We take lots of great footage.
I come out to the empty social area and entertain myself by pretending it is in my backyard.
Get bathed and ready for dinner, and then sit at the door of the tent, listening to the long unheard, yet so familiar night noises of Africa.
Time to gather as a group around the campfire and discuss our day and what we have seen.
We are momentarily silenced by the beauty of the sun setting behind the thorn trees.
The chef serves up the kind of meal Easau would have given his birthright away for.....
...and we dine in style....
...and then hear each others stories and laugh around the fire.
Before the flames die out....
...we hit the sack so we can be up in time to do it all again.
Can you imagine living in a tent like that... on a safari like that? I can!
