Today I had a game drive, without seeing one of the big 5. Its amazing when you actually have time to look for the little things. That you so easily miss when you chase after the big 5. We saw 3 different types of eagles, and the bonus was a goshawk with a spitting cobra in a knobthorn tree. It looked like the spitting cobra was too big for the goss hawk, so it was just watching it from a distance. Eventually the spitting cobra went into a hole. But we left the goshawk waiting for it to make an appearance. It just shows you, you can have an awesome drive without just focusing on the big things. And appreciate the little things that so easily get taken for granted.

Hello Veruschka,
A cobra is not so usual to see.
My husband Stany, my Daughter Daphné, and mee were with you on 11, 12,13 and 14 of August.
We saw 4 of the big 5; leopard was missing. Do you remember us ? (it was in part with Alfred, when you tried to drive through a tree). We keep an excellent remembrance of our sojourn at kapama lodge, and the games with you. Thank you again.
Best wishes.
Josiane, and Co
