The night before we left for Ithala we were treated to an African dinner including a "drumming circle". I'd always found these "cheesy" but in the local context it was a lof of fun...

We were each given a drum and were taught to play specific rhythmes... the drummers were also keen to focus us on collective effort.

A small group of us were on an evening drive... I was straddling the side of the jeep with a high powered light when the driver suddenly pulled over and plucked from the side of the road a blade of grass... this delightful Chameleonhe found there... how he could see it in pitch darkness, with only the lights from his jeep, amazed all of us.
A couple of nights later I met him in the bar and he asked how I was going... I told him I'd never felt better. He replied that I should keep my smile, take it back home, and teach those that don't to smile.

On this evening drive we saw two black rhinos, several dozen zebra and blue welderbeast, wart hogs and various types of antelope.
As it got darker I stood on the side of the jeep with a high powered lamp seeking out animals in the bush. Countless eyes, bright as stars looked back from hill tops and amidst the trees. We encountered a rare species of bird and a chamelion, both of which we were very lucky to find.
It was a kind of childhood dream to be hanging off the jeep in deepest, darkest Africa
