Last night internet connectivity in a jam-packed Satara was just too poor to attempt blogging, so I’ll just post three photos from the 23rd of December today.

We have no complaints whatsoever about the sightings Satara and Kruger dished up for us today on Christmas Eve either!

“Oom Olifant” is een van daardie gediggies wat ons mee grootgeword het, so ingeprent in n kind wat mal was oor die Wildtuin se brein dat ek dit vandag nog kan opse.

We did. Thanks to Zoom, we were able to celebrate with family in France, New York City, Ohio, and California at the same time. Later we celebrated with my parents here.
