KOA June 27-30, 2014 Safari

As the sun slowly sinks below the horizon, the guides break out the cases and boxes – it is time for our sundowners. After a long day in the bush we relax with a cool gin and tonic or Pimm’s cup and review the day’s hunt. Sightings of water skiers and swimmers were not unusual. We also saw an occasional biker, hiker, reader and napper. We settle into our new campsite overlooking the Savannah. The drought has caused us, like the animals, to seek a new place to settle – Silverwood Lake. We have all the comforts: flush toilets, 24 hour hot showers, electricity, and a short drive to a boat launch for the HMS Barkley.  There are 56 hardy hunters (camera only!) on the trek.
