Senyati, nr Kasane, Botswana 17/8/12

Awoke at Elephant Sands to the piercing call of the Pearl Spotted Owlet.
Elephants got hold of the "donkey" (water heating system) during the night, so ...no hot water this morning! Scrumptious omelette breakfast.
Construction on the Kasane Express highway continues. Not too bad, certainly better than last year. Elephant next to the road plus usual suspects. (It's like being in the Kruger at 120 kms).
Went into Kasane for some shopping and to familiarize ourselves with Mark's (tiger fishing guy) meeting place.
Senyati is still good. A herd (3 strong) of sable greeted us.


Chalet is very pleasant.
A very pleasant afternoon spent watching ellies, sable, baboons, impala and other assorted odds and ends.



Chas made a curry for supper. A rather under the weather Luis was helping him. When asked to bring some water, Luis grabbed a flask, added water but forgot to empty the coffee. Curry was lovely, coffee is obviously the secret ingredient for a damn good curry.
Brutus' temp gauge malfunctioned today ..... Tomorrow's worry!
