Ag dankie.
Leopards are beautiful.
A quick report...
Yesterday I decided to do a good deed and help out a colleague who was feeling sick. I took over his flying, which included a nightstop in Selinda. Not realising he had 0630 take off the next day (today). Eish.
To get to Selinda camp from the airfield, it's a 15min drive followed by a 10min boat trip, in the Selinda Spillway, which I like to call "Hippo Country". Unfortunately, since I had to leave camp at 0500 (which meant waking up at 0400

) to be at the airfield in time to preflight before my guests arrived, we couldn't take the boat as it was too dark and not safe.
So we took the long way around in the car. Well, not as long as I thought because the guide decided to take a short cut. Through a river. In the dark. With hippos around. The Land Cruiser was floating!
I preflighted in the dark, and was treated to a beautiful sunrise.
Later I'm off to Vic Falls!
