The last couple of days have been kind of boring. Hannes and his family are still in Johannesburg due to his mothers passing. It is just me and Justin here and we don't do a whole lot because there isn't much to do. I do a lot of reading and a lot of walks throughout the reserve. You don't see as many animals on foot because they aren't as used to that and get spooked more easily. The animals I see most often are the blue wildebeest. They seem to be everywhere even around the lodge at night I found out when I nearly walked into a group of five feeding on the grass in the pitch dark walk back to my room after dinner. They definitely scared the crap out of me! For the most part when I see them during the day they snort and make all kinds of noises and sometimes even kick up dust to try and scare me away, but they seem to be fairly harmless.
Today was probably one of the more actively working days I've had since the night at the bar. Justin and I drove to a town about 40 miles away to pick up some cleaning equipment and other materials needed to straighten up the lodge. It was a very nice little town, but I definitely felt like a minority there. We got almost everything we needed with a two hours time and then headed back to the lodge.
Here are some pictures from my walk about the previous day.
