As we've had so many visitors we've been on safari every month since the Froonchen was born, and as usual, she slept through most of it! We stayed at Mpila which has no fence. The hyenas visit every night to try and steal your sausages off the braai. Armed with some Christmas stollen and the biggest watermelon this side of the equator, we drove around Imfolozi on the hunt for lion, cheetah and leopard. We didn't see any cats, but we did see elephant, a mini croc and the usual list of sightings. It was also a very good trip for spotting birdies, with confirmed sightings of a secretary bird (think large turkey but wth more interesting head gear), bee eaters and a blue waxbill. We also spotted some really colourful lizards. The only downside to the trip was the Froonchen peeing on my bed when we still had one night to go. As no-one was willing to brave the very creaky top bunk in our 4 bed rest hut, it meant sleeping on pee. Looking on the bright side, at least it wasn't a poo!
