| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaSitting Room, I guess. Those chairs are very comfortable. Outside the doors is the veranda, which gives a good view of the watering hole. |

| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaThe sunlight through the clouds was very cool, so I too a picture. Had the telephoto lens on, you can see the rounded corners. But the photo turned out pretty cool anyway. |

| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaMale Kudu. Note the curled horns, you can apparently estimate age by the number of curls. Also, note the white markings. This is supposed to be unique to each animal, sort of like a fingerprint. |

| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaThese are, I believe, "waterbuck". I think that's how Adrian (the ranger) pronounced it. |

| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaMale waterbuck with female waterbuck in the background. Apparently waterbuck gained their name through their strategy to avoid lions/leopards/etc. -- they simply run into water (river, lake, etc.) and wait out the predator. |

| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaDriving off-road, we punctured a tire. So Adrian (the ranger, whom you can't see clearly) is changing it. He said that a puncture is a common occurance. |

| Comments: | Sabi Sabi, South AfricaThat's a female lion. We tracked a pride -- three males, four or five females -- in the dark. These are incredible beasts, though I didn't get a decent picture. Some other folks in my group did, with a digital camera, so I'm hoping to get some copies from them. |
