Life's a Stitch

(March 2. 2026)

The Country Lodge in Keratu provided us with a buffet of items for us to make up our own lunch boxes. Great idea as a means to control food waste as you only take what you’ll eat. We had lunch at the park gate with beautiful blue Superb Starlings

and mice at our feet. There were decent bathrooms as well. 

Fed and refreshed we were on our way. Note: I’m wearing Bryant’s uniform Safari shirt from his three week gig filming a high end safari company seven years ago. The guide recognized it and asked where I found it. Our tour generally followed Bryant’s itinerary so I was hopeful we’d see some of the same animals. Good strategy.

Off we went. There was a resting lioness.

And Steve’s eagle eyes immediately spotted four cubs napping in a nearby culvert.

A “mob” of mongoose were checking out a termite hill.

They decided to make a quick exit.

This pond was most memorable due to the quantity of hippos taking their afternoon nap.

Making our way to the tent camp we spotted a cheetah in the grasses.

Baboons:

And more interesting birds.

The Red Bishop:

Arriving at Moyo Tented Camp reminded me of welcoming campers to summer camp.

This was glamping at its best:

It was good to know we’d be here for two nights in a row, not our routine of daily moving along.
