We started working yesterday and so far, so good. It is such a change from working in a primary school in London.

This afternoon after work I went for a game drive with the guests. We saw a herd of Red Hartebeest. I think they are pretty ugly antelopes. Later on we came across a couple of male impalas who were play fighting. There were also warthogs that were on their knees busying eating grass, zebra, a giraffe that crossed the road in front of us and a breeding herd of elephants. The elephants were very close to the road and nice to observe them from this distance.

It was now getting dark, so we headed back to the lodge. We are really lucky to live in such an amazing place!
