The tents were laid out along the river which is very low right now, but still deep enough for hippo's to bathe in.
When we arrived, I loved the fact there was elephant poo right next to our tent, but when I woke up at 2 am, and was listening to all the noises outside, I wasn't so keen on the thought.
There are no fences here, ( so only a piece of canvas between us and the lions, leopards, elephants, etc) so the animals were all around us. We all enjoyed laying in our tents at night, listening to the wildlife grunting and snorting, the most interesting sounding birds, and monkeys chattering. We had some great game drives with amazing sightings. Our first sighting yesterday, 5 minutes out of the lodge was 2 female lions, one very pregnant and the other with 4 cubs....what a way to start the day.
Lunch in the bush, ( delicious rice, vegetable curry and meat quiche) watching elephants wander by.....pinch me!
Spider webs, African style.
Bush pee break....
We had a great sighting of the endangered African wild dogs, with pups.....
On the viewing deck.....
We had our sundowner on the first night down by the river watching a large bloat of hippo's entertaining us....
And as if the hippo's weren't enough, we were given this beautiful sunset!
The second day at Mogitlho we did a game drive through Moremi Park.
Termite mound...
Sitting around the fire before dinner, enjoying the last few rays of the sun....
Blair and Lisa spotted a leopard one night just before dinner, which brought us all running. We missed the leopard, but luckily no beer was lost on the race to the viewing deck.
Both nights before dinner, the staff came into the dining room singing and dancing, we just loved it.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our two days here but time to move on....stay tuned
