Morning at Okonjima
We tracked leopards at Okonjima in the morning. Unlike with cheetah tracking, we did not get out of the truck; leopards are more dangerous than cheetahs.
Hiked 6 km on the giraffe trail at the reserve to the top of a ridge for a nice view over the reserve.
Driving back to Windhoek, we were stopped at a traffic checkpoint. The officer had never seen a Massachusetts license before, and said he would like to visit America some day.
At the Airport Lodge, my daughter was attacked by an ostrich who perceived her to be a threat to the baby ostriches. We tried to give a wide berth, but it was not enough for momma ostrich. No significant injuries occurred, but ostriches look pretty big when they are right next to you (and they are angry).
