It actually rained today! Real, live\u00a0 rain fell from the sky in the Kalahari! Maybe this will be the once-in-a-century when the Nossob River floods. It last flooded in 1963, so there\u2019s a chance.<\/p>\n
This morning we left the Kalahari Tent Camp at 6 am. By the time we returned for a late breakfast, we had seen an African wild cat, the same two lions mating, a troop of five spotted hyenas, giraffes, and a Cape cobra. That wasn\u2019t the only snake, though! On our evening drive, we saw a white snake. Of course, we don\u2019t know what it is, but, still.<\/p>\n
Mom was totally freaking out, but that is to be expected. On that drive we once again saw the two lions, plus some kudu, which are very rare in the park, and lots of black-backed jackals plus a steppe buzzard. We also saw lots of vultures, but couldn\u2019t find the kill that they had found. That was disappointing.<\/p>\n
At the waterhole down in the river valley, we thought we saw lions tonight. Sadly, they were just eland, which would have been great in daylight because we\u2019ve only seen about seven or so eland here. But oh, well. There\u2019s always tomorrow.<\/p>\n
