FC01 – Day 24

17/01/2011

FC01 is still in the same position. Six days in the same place is not a good sign. But the weather is about to break, so we will soon find out if it is alive or not.

We can’t smell dead snake, and in this heat we should be able to smell it from miles away, so signs are good!

Rain at last!

Finally the rain has come to Umkhumbi Lodge. The Nyala, Impala and Duiker have (like us) been standing out enjoying the rain. As much as we love the sun, there are few people who can resist the kiss of the rain on their cheeks.

 

With it we have also had some amazing lightning storms on the mountains opposite our lappa;

Already everything is looking even more green and luscious than it was.
