Hippos and Shisha!

There is nothing nicer than having hippos right next to the sundowners spot at the dam on a Saturday evening while you sitting with your girl on the back of you bakkie... Amazing stuff!
Last weekend Tenele was here again and in contrast to the weekend before we enjoyed the comforts of a house. Eddie and his partner let me stay in their house while they away.
Since Tenele came into the park after closing hours on Friday night I had to organize a late permit for her. When I told the lady giving me the late permit that Tenele is my girlfriend she started calling me Sbali which is brother in law in Siswati. She also gave me her number and told me that she so much wants to meet Tenele. On Saturday she invited us for a braai (barbecue) and we actually found out that Tenele and her do have common relatives and the same sir name. Was an amazing evening in terms of hospitality and warmth from the first minute!
This week I'm going to the field a lot since there won't be any guards available for next week. So I'm keeping this brief and way too exhausted to write long stories.. Just enjoy the pictures!






When I'm getting bored I'm smoking Guelph - Shisha in the field...

The game guard felt sorry for me sitting in the sun.. he built the wheelbarrow-umbrella for me.. we had 38 degrees C that day.. After I finished my 2 litres of water I felt like I hadn't drunken a bit..
