As this was our first day we spent it orientating ourselves on a couple of game drives – during the morning we saw tonnes of Kudu, Oryx, Zebra, Giraffe, Rock Monitor Lizards and more. We also visited the largest termite mound in the reserve – about 4 times the height of Matt! And we saw our first leopard, called Skinny Boy. The reserve has 4 leopards tagged for research purposes.
In the afternoon we went leopard tracking which involved driving around in the jeep with Clive holding up a big antenna listening out for beeps. We managed to track down one called Nxosi which got quite close – a great sight!
In the evenings we all take it in turns to cook, so the 2 female volunteers, Tanya and Bev cooked spag bol – delicious!
Nb – there are just 5 volunteers for this week, Bev a local council sports co-ordinator from Surrey aged 49, Tanya a former banker aged 39, David a recruitment consultant aged 53, and Matt and I – so I’m the youngest!
