After working at St. Matthews Church moving more rocks until after lunch, we said our goodbyes to the church people and the school children. When we arrived at the gate of the Shaba Game Preserve, the drivers popped open the roofs of our vans so we could stand up to see the wildlife. From Thursday afternoon until Saturday morning, we saw elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, monkeys, and leopards to name a few. It was awesome!
The Simba Lodge was very nice - it was great to have hot and cold running water for the sinks and the showers. Each room's balcony looked out over a pond to the grasslands beyond. Last evening before going to dinner we counted eleven elephants feeding. There was, however, no internet service. As one of the staff remarked, "We are in the bush."
This morning after our last game drive, we headed to Sweetwaters Tented Camp in a private game reserve. On the way we crossed the equator. We stopped for picture taking and a little shopping. Tomorrow it is on to Nairobi and, hopefully, a new post with pictures.
