Like all the sweep crews, Jim Smith and Pete Stone
spent the morning hard at work. They were sent out on a
reconnaissance mission with a view to making amendments
to the next days route. The rain is wreaking havoc with the
dirt tracks but, after 140km of rocking and rolling, they
think that they’ve found a solution.
There were evening game drives arranged as well and, by
days end, pretty much everybody who‘d been on a safari in
the last 36 hours had seen rhino, lions, a leopard, cheetah,
Cape buffalo and elephants. That’s a respectable tally by
any standard.
Tomorrow we’re back on the road heading for the
Serengeti via the border with Tanzania, a gravel Regularity
and an airfield Test.
