Lion Kill





On the last day Eric & I were on Safari we came across this female Lion and the Buffalo she had just killed. It was quite amazing to watch!

Morning at Muchenje


Each day at the Muchenje Lodge in Botswana, we'd start our morning with coffee and reading our books overlooking Chobe National Park. What a great way to start the day...

Back in the States

We are in DC waiting for our flight to SF. The first thing we did was get a Starbucks.
Our crossing to Botswana was easy and uneventful. Our safari lodge "Muchenje" was beautiful with our rooms being individual thatched chalets again. Each with a deck overlooking Chobe River. We safaried by jeep and boat and visited a home and school in the village. Since we didn't blog from there I will update you with pictures as soon as I get home.

Mom & Cub Leopards





Eric and I are now home and the girls are somewhere over the Atlantic. Here's a couple of photos from our last day at DJUMA that I never got to upload. We were about 15-20 feet away from this mother and it's cub. It was truely incredible to watch them interact.
