Another windy night in which we were serenaded by zebras and other animals. A lone hyena offered to help dealing with leftover breakfast items but no one seemed very keen on this. And off for the last game drive of my Safari holiday!

Around the camp there are shapes of dark blue hung in trees, which I also noticed at picnic sites. These are to attract tsetse flies I was told, and discourage them from future activity by insecticide?

Goodluck uses the radio quite a bit, there's the Ranger channel which all the guide vehicles use and a specific Asilia (= genuine) channel. Together with conversations as drivers pass each other this spreads knowledge on what can be seen. We heard of a cheetah sighting but Goodluck felt there would be a vast gathering of vehicles there. As there was for the sighting of a pair of courting lions desultorily pursuing a wildebeest with an angry red wound in its side. Suddenly there was a traffic jam of guide vehicles in the middle of nowhere! Everyone hoping the lions would kill the wildebeest, or the wildebeest would make a getaway? Courting lions aren't bothered about attacking other animals, only if they get too close so the wildebeest may have blundered and interrupted them.

We did manage to be early on the scene where a leopard was prowling in the long grass, and even crossed the road in front of us meaning I got photographic proof I have seen a leopard! Goodluck took a video which he kindly WhatsApp-ed me. We also saw the remains of a leopard's meal hung from a tree, and to make up for not seeing Lake Manyara's tree climbing lions we saw a lioness up a tree eyeing up some possible lunch.

Plenty of driving along bumpy and dusty roads, I am looking forward to returning home and giving my back a rest. I felt for the people in open-sided vehicles, I did wonder why the guidelines for this holiday suggested bringing a scarf when the weather was so hot. If you don't want to be suffocated by dust in an open-sided vehicle wrapping your face up well is a must.

The staff here are very obliging. We had a late lunch the chef prepared quickly for us. Just ask and someone brings a bucket so one can have a shower. And they've even now changed the bulb in the toilet section which is a big help at night! Well it worked during the afternoon but not later on, perhaps it's solar powered.

Excitement continues, just had an elephant trumpeting nearby and a herd of gazelles rushing through the camp. The guides and camp staff had to drive the elephant away by imitating lions, the elephants are prone to digging up buried pipes to get water.

Another good dinner with loads of choices of things to add to one's plate. The toothpicks have a green end - I thought it might be a poisoned end for unwelcome foreigners but my guide said it was a minty sweet end after you had used the plain end.
