To be out on the Maunachira River in the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana at any time is a wonderful experience. To be out there at sunset is sublime. After an afternoon of birdwatching on the river we stopped in a sheltered bay for refreshments and watched the sun go down.

An elephant roadblock first thing in the morning; gotta love Africa. Below, an extract from my Journal of this day:

 

This morning I ate breakfast with Mary and Joe, while Owner cooked for us and waited on tables. Mary said she couldn’t understand a word the man says, and besides, what religion was he? As it happens, I knew Owner belongs to the Zion Christian Church, he wears an insignia on his uniform. Mary didn’t believe me, she had never heard of the ZCC and she hadn’t seen any churches. We had the makings of an argument before we’d had our eggs. Joe said nothing.

 

Right out of the camp we came upon a family of 8 elephants (see the above photo) which should have been a good start to the day. Mary didn’t want to see elephants, she wanted to see lions. In the next couple of hours we saw impala, lechwe, kudu, tsessebe, warthogs, giraffe and birds, but no lions.

 

Owner read his new guests really well, he drove past the animals and said nothing unless I asked a question or requested we stop for a photo. Mary again said she couldn’t understand anything Owner said and insisted I “translate” for her. She was the quintessential ugly American and I felt embarrassed for her. Joe said nothing.

 

Around 10:30 we stopped for refreshments, Mary said she felt the morning was wasted, and asked me if it was always like this. I said game drives were 90% searching and 10% excitement, and yes this was a typical game drive. What I didn’t say was that for me it’s 90% excitement and 10% off the Richter Scale.

 

Owner confided that two lions had recently passed our way and he was tracking them, but not a word to Mary.

My favourite healthy snack. Raw sunflower seeds are a source of protein, fiber, iron and antioxidants. And they're so tasty!
