We wake up this AM for a game drive. The animals here are not as numerous as at the other parks.. but Saadani is a new park... saved from poachers. The animals are making a comeback slowly. We did a drive unitl about noon and came back to the lodge for lunch.....oh what a treat!! We have never had lunch at the lodges before (in the last two trips) and this lunch was enough to make Emeril salivate. Fresh bbq'd prawns.. HUGE prawns. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Love how they always provide fresh fruit for afters.
The rest of the afternoon was spent swimming in the Indian Ocean.... ok so it was wading... cos on this day the water never got deeper than thigh deep. I attempted to snorkel but all I saw was sand swirling in front of my mask. After dipping in the salty ocean we showered off and jumped into the pool OOOOOh nice! did a few laps and went back to banda to lounge in the sun and drink tea. Awwww the life.
Dinner that night was on the veranda... but before dinner we went out to the "treehouse" to check out animals comeing at dusk to drink at the watering hole... all we saw were a few bats and some bugs... Grrr. So we went off to the open air bar for pre dinner drinks and supper.
11 July
today was the river safari. this was the day that we met up with Sue and Shane (Aussie and Kiwi). we took a boat trip up the Wamu river. We saw crocs, birds and hippos. It was really nice going up the river rather than in a landcruiser.
We were back at the lodge for lunch again.... fish and shrimp kebabs. MMMMM.
Spent the afternnon reading until about 3pm when Charles took us out for an afternoon drive.
We got back in time to shower and get ready for dinner. Yet anothe delicous supper afresco.
