Last Post from SA... Maybe?!

So I think this might be my last post while in S. Africa but perhaps I'll write something on the way to the airport tomorrow. So yah, not so much to tell you since we've come back to the main camp in Vaalwater...

We hunted yesterday and harvested two warthogs and a bushbok. The bushbok was an upsale by our very skilled guide Andrias. My dad took it... It's a beautiful animal. This morning we're going after wildebeest and impala. So if you're keeping track that's 6 days of hunting in 9 days of being in SA! It's been fun and quite fruitful but I'm kind of ready for something else! ;) I've almost got everyone convinced to go to the white lion perserve tomorrow before we leave.

It's a breeding/conservation area where they are helping to increase the white lion population. My understanding is that they're not albino but it's actually a ressesive gene that makes these lions white. I've been told there are some new cubs there that look just like little snowballs and I'd definitely like to see if we can't photograph them! We'll see though.

As far as my photo safari has gone so far? Very successful! Lots and lots and LOTS of pics. Some even of people! :) But I've got baby giraffe, young elephants, rinos, and great close-ups of a lion! It's funny now that we've been here for a while whenever we see a giraffe or rino I only take 3-5 pictures instead of 30-50! Haha. This lens is great and I think I've got more than one "wow" shot so I'm happy. Would've loved to had the opportunity to get a cheetah or leopard but I guess that's a reason to come back!

The camp has been lots of fun... Still eating great and sleeping well and the weather has been quite cool... I'm in a fleece and pants this morning!

We've made good friends in our guide Andrias, his wife Stephie, and our tracker Mandlla who as I have said is very good. I think we are going to have to follow up with them once we get back to the States!

I'm not sure what else to tell you! I can't wait to go through the pictures and grab a hundred or so to share with you all on the web! I'm also excited to share some South African wine and Amarula as both are very tasty!

I'm defintely in withdrawls from football! Hahaha. Definitely ready to watch the Cowboys beat the Broncos on Sunday!! In a way I'm almost ready to get back to work too. More than anything im ready to be back with Karissa. This is a loooooong vacation and it's been tough being apart!!

Welp, I guess I'll quit rambling and sign off for now. Perhaps we'll see or experience something crazy or extraordinary on the way to the airport tomorrow and I'll update this sucket again, otherwise I'll defintely post an update once we're back in the States!
