Lions, Tigers and Bears...oh, my!

Okay, so not really....didn't see any lions, tigers or bears...

Another gorgeous day today in Zimbabwe.  We started out early for another game drive.  Saw more of the same animals...just beautiful!  I don't think I could ever get tired of watching these creatures in the wild.  Jake is very knowledgeable on all of these animals and has such great stories of many game hunts he had been part of in the past.















Nancy had packed us breakfast which we ate after a few hours driving around in the park.  Enjoyed some granola, yogurt and tea in the bush.  




We ended up spending about 6 hours out in the morning, looking for animals!  Couldn't believe we were out that long, it went so fast!

We left the park around noon to travel to Bulowayo.  Sometimes, I feel like we've been in a car or plane more on this trip than we have not been in some sort of transportation.  Lots of travel on this trip!

We arrived in Bulowayo around 4 in the afternoon and got settled in at Jake and Nancy's home.  One of their sons and his family live here in Zimbabwe and invited us over for supper.  We enjoyed some eland as part of the meal.  Eland is a type of antelope.  Love trying all the different game meet here in Africa!

We have an early start tomorrow morning to travel (once again) to Mtshabezi Mission.

Thanks for your continued prayers!  My health has been good for the entire trip, keep up the prayers!  It's hard to believe our trip is winding down.  I am learning and seeing so much!
