#Another bloody day game full#
Wandering down to Tent 9 behind a bloke with a gun under a full moon was a very pleasant way to end a rather long day. Who would have thought that in the middle of Zimbabwe I’d be sharing Rogan Josh, and a desert to die for & a South African shiraz around a campfire with an extended family from Warsaw in Wisconsin talking about Warthogs. At Davison’s, the camp is part of the bush. And at Simbavati they at least pretended there was a camp … and an area that was beyond the camp. At Notten’s a Hippo wandered into the camp. 9 tents and a central area that has not got much in the way of walls sitting in front of a waterhole without so much as even the pretense of a fence. Happily partnered by Themba – another of the guides. While I’m on names one of the cooks is Privilege Announcer frequently makes announcements and there’s a guide from a polygamous family called Lovemore. I do not think I’d ever drunk Sherry before going on safari. Cos is, in fact, the manager at a sister lodge a few waterholes away – but they enjoy a good welcoming committee. The other members of the welcoming committee wer Marvellous – not the kitchen Marvellous but the management Marvellous – Cos, Patrick, Bee & Charles. Joey – the 6 year old son of guests from Australia who’d left Joey with Charles to do odd jobs while they’d gone warthog watching – greeted me with a hot towel. And watching a troupe of them in the late afternoon cavorting and carrying on was way better than vacuuming the floor! Evidently, English Breakfast proved irresistable to your baboon.ĭouglas just likes their antics. Certainly, the butler’s trays had been removed from every room.

At the time, the idea of a baboon trying to overcome Australia’s asylum seeker policy by masquerading as my good sense seemed fanciful.īut Dale Notten’s for instance said that his failure to shut windows at his private home and the resultant baboon rage almost led to divorce. I thought Roy Simbavati was trying to cover up for light fingered staff when he insisted we put our money and passports in the safe in case the baboons went berserk. It had been slowly dawning on me that as a result of this pathological distaste – catapults & paint ball guns were every ready around the camps in case of a guerilla raid – that I had not one photograph that was remotely good of this playful critter. He would appear to be the only individual in all of the Safari business who actually likes Baboons. The three hours had well and truly passed when I discovered a delightfully quirky fact about Douglas. Regrettably, I did not have my big lens with me when about 50 Sable visited Davison’s waterhole.
