I admit, I am rather impressed with Safari's hunting skills if she indeed caught them, they are quite fast as the spotlight holder and driver on our game drive will attest! We also saw an African wild cat which honestly, I thought was a joke, but now have confirmed that African wildcats do exist separate from stray domestic cats. We also saw more bush babies which is always a treat for me. When I was walking back to my house, my headlamp caught the eyeshine of a creature in the bushes and on closer inspection (and after searching my mammal book) I learned that there is a genet living in the bushes next to the house. I am going to try to get a closer look one of these days. Rose came with us on the game drive, and as you can see, we were chilly!

Game drive usiku bomba!
I was fortunate enough to go on another night game drive with my temporary neighbors. There were 3 students only so lots of extra room in the car. We saw many springhare which was quite exciting. I really want to learn to hop like one- it looks like a lot of fun like every springhare has their own pogo-stick. Now that I have seen them, I realized that Safari the dog has brought Rose and I tails from springhare on 2 occasions.
