Did anyone loose a cat

If the Throne Room of God is on earth, we found it today!!

Incredible and amazing! Words can not sufficiently express the emotions of the day. We are in Serengeti, Tanzania, in search of cats, in particular a large spotted one that hangs out in trees. We sure found a treasure chest full of surprises. First, we spotted a few cheetahs tucked away behind some small trees. Not long after, perched about 20 feet high on a limb of a tree, the elusive leopard was spotted. What a beautiful creature. Uncertain of the gender, he/she laid there grooming herself and resting peacefully in the shade of the acacia. Shortly after that, a cheetah with her cub, casually strolling along a dirt path, a herd of Thompson Gazelle in her sights. And then there is Simba... We saw several lions, a couple males together sleeping off their full bellies (we got within 10 feet of them) and then we happened upon another lion with 2 lionesses laying on a rock in the middle of the open grasslands. A pack of elephants, 13 in total, were feeding not more than 15 feet away - 2 little ones tagging along.

lion- check, elephant- check, water buffalo- check, leopard- check. 4/5 of the Big 5. Unbelievable really. Will be searching for the rhino over the next 2 days as we head toward the Ngoro Crater area. We were so overwhelmed and emotionally spent from all the excitement of our finds today that we asked our guide to head for the lodge early so we were relaxing and laying by the pool sipping a cool libation by 3. A couple big baboons climbed up to our deck and ate an apple I had out there. Crazy!!!

Another God kissed day!!!

Mouahhhh
