Looking after Grey Matters camp deep in the delta 17th Jan 2010

the cloud cover developed into thunder and lightning after 4 this seamed to affect Marula as it took 45 min or so to administer her medication (it was also very windy) she was not happy lying down so in the end her wound was dressed with her standing next to the tractor, Consequently the trio departed around 5. (Jabu was fine with his meds) they returned just before 8.
We had tremendous thunder and lightning last night, but with just a few drops of rain, lions were very active to the north and a leopard went through camp. wild elephants approached the boma but didn't make a problem.
The trio departed this morning as normal. We still havn't managed to contact Amos's wife yet and will keep trying, he says his finger is slowly improving and is keeping it splinted.
We intend to clean the next tent today ( the small one behind mine)

Enjoying the bush
