Pictures and Thanks

Thanks to all of you for writing entries for the blog and a big thanks to Louis for updating the blog regularly during this expedition.
Also thanks to the staff at Mankwe for the good food, the guidance by the trackers while in the field, the electricity for charging our camera batteries, iPods and phones, for the campfires in the evening and the African drumming session.
Dougal, Lynne and Louis have done an excellent job educating us all about the African bush and African wildlife. A special thanks to Lynne for using a different gate in Pilanesberg so we could see the magnificent herd of elephants with their young. Also for making it possible to see the pack of wild dogs in Pilanesberg and making the brown hyena expedition a wonderful experience.
