Well I’ve made it home safe and sound from 3 weeks in Namibia. I was hoping to update my blog regular while I was away but time restraints and slow/unreliable internet access put a stop to that right at the start.
Leopard Lodge
My first stop was at Leopard Lodge, ran by a friend of a friend. It’s a hunting lodge just an hour from Windhoek the capital of Namibia. Lots of wildlife including wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, oryx, kudu hyena, steenbok, baboon, leopard. This caracal is a “Pet” that the kids handle regularly but is kept in a large pen. Not the friendliest pet I’ve ever seen so took photos but didn’t go in a pat.
The wildlife in Africa is amazing. I have fabulous memories of our trip years ago. Back then I had a film camera. I learnt to change rolls very quickly. I’d love to go back again with my digital camera.
Definitely easier with a digital camera, sometimes pretty tricky getting the exposure correct so if I didn’t check the back of the screen I could of really messed up a whole series of shots
