Camping on the Island

I was just talking about our overnight in the Delta.  We were told to listen for the animals in the night.

At around 3 AM, I heard a big whoosh.  It sounded close.  The guide lit a lamp and hung it up high.

In the morning, I asked about the noise.  "Just a hippo" he said.

Another guide claimed to have hear lions roaring, but I didn't hear anything else, not even snoring.

On our first game walk we had seen reed buck and zebra and a couple of elephants.  This morning we saw lots of giraffes, some more zebra, one blue wildebeest, warthogs and more elephants.  As we mentioned, it is neat to see these animals together.

It was a nice long walk, good exercise.  Some of the ground had been underwater earlier in the year.  Some of the now-dry waterholes had enormous cracks in the earth.


It's an experience being here, in this famous wilderness.  We realize that few people in our income bracket get to do this, and we thank G^d for this opportunity.

G^d gives all of us much more than we can ask or think...  (Eph 3:20).

Thanks be to Him!
