Day 7, Duma Tau - To be among so many amazing animals and leave claiming your favorite experience to be the singing of the staff at Duma Tau is a credit to their incredible talent. They surprised us by singing for us the previous night at a dinner way out in the bush. However, the crew was without their equipment so it wasn't filmed. Thankfully, they sang again for the cameras the next day. |

An audio file (.mp3 & .wav) of the choir singing has been prepared so you can enjoy their magnificent sound. Many thanks to the production team for rushing the audio material through for this journal. The beautiful red lechwe has deeply splayed hooves to allow movement in the mud. |

The baboons certainly provided much entertainment. Noisy, raucous, unpredictable and large in number, they were permanent fixtures in the trees around our tents at Vumbura and Duma Tau. Frequently, I found myself waking to their barking. During game rides, they would be everywhere - in open spaces and in the trees, frequently within distance of cover. Quite often would we see them with impala. |

The second night at Duma Tau it rained and we learned - through loud screeching experience - that baboons don't sleep well in the rain. It could have been worse, however. The group that went on a side trip horse safari had baboons throwing stuff at their tent. |
