In search of lions




Audrey and I had a fabulous walking safari in search of the buffalo on Palm Island. If we found buffalo, we would hope to find lions. We didn't on this day.
But the next day, after Audrey had headed off on her mobile safari, I walked with Xugana guides and two guests. We found the lions! I stood 20 metres away from three females. (See my account and guide Lets' photos at desertdelta.blogspot.com)

The guide squeezes this flower and it squirts water like a water pistol

My friend, Ted, and his wife, Mary Ann, hosted a Safari Send-Off for me in Austin and treated me to a special mix of African music that already a UB student and a professor want to download.
