Sweetwaters was listed on the itinerary as a "tented camp." We weren't sure what to expect, but we needn't have worried about the accommodations or the game viewing.

They
looked simple from the outside. . .
|
|
| but
they had full facilities and running water
|
and
a mahogany four-poster bed!
|
|
| The
camp was right on a watering hole
|
Various
animal took advantage of that
|
|
| Sacred
ibis were plentiful here and elsewhere
|
As
were the marabou stork
|
|
| Sometimes
our escort, Bill, just needed a rational conversation with someone
|
We
visited a sanctuary for abused chimps
|
|
| Most
of them had been "pets" before they were rescued
|
Animals
were present in large numbers
|
|
| Zebras
formed herds for protection
|
"What
are they looking at?" "Oh, just birds," said someone,
much to Pat's (and Bill's) distress
|
|
| Of
course, some of us knew what was REALLY important!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The brilliance of the superb starling was everywhere |
