Tuesday
LOCATION: Kruger National Park, SA
APPEARING: Steffi
From Oliphants we made a long drive, leaving the park at Orpen, and making a massive loop back into the park via the Timbavati Reserve for just one night at a rustic, unfenced, tented camp.

Returning from a night safari drive, a hyena was standing a few meters outside the camp, near where we had parked. Getting back to the tents required an armed escort, "Just in case."

That night, while my nerves held (our tent was on the far side of the camp, closest the boundary), I sat on our front porch and listened to not-so-distant footsteps and munching just out of sight in the dark night of the veld.
