The beginning of this week we found ourselves in Ruaha National Park again. We stayed at Mwagusi, a fabulous five star lodge. You got served every second and the rooms were just gorgeous. While out on game drives we saw a few new animals- hyena, ostriches and wild dogs! The wild dogs might not sound that exciting but it is actually a huge thing. I could tell from Eli's reaction. They are an endangered species that is so hard to see. This was Eli's first time seeing it and Dr. A has only seen them one other time in Ruaha. This was a big deal and we were lucky to see them. Unfortunately, no leopard sighting. One room did have a leopard run in to the side of their banda in the night and many heard its heavy breathing. When the sun goes down Ruaha gets crazy! It's fun to fall asleep to the yelps of hyenas and monkeys running through the river just outside! And the only thing protecting you is the tent around your bed. The rest of your place is open!
Well nothing else new has really happened. The rest of the semester is quite full. Each week has some trip. Monday we will leave for a two night camping trip. Next Sunday (the 25th) we leave for homestay! Sorry for such a short post! Hope all is well with all my reader! Love and miss each and every one of you :)
