By the time we went down to breakfast the chefs were hard at work. The tandoor oven was on, and a leg of pork was smoking for dinner – how awesome is that.

Time for some exercise, cycling through the Myoka community where you find the Mang’ati tribe. The cycle included a visit to the local school and then to the 3 districts – district C, B and A (in that order) to experience local village life. Then finally down to the lake, sadly no flamingos due to the heavy rains late summer but abundant birdlife for us to experience. 3 hours later we met up with our guide and enjoyed coffee by the lake before heading back to Tree Lodge. Felt good to exercise again and was much needed.

On arrival back at camp Liberarty said he wanted to show us something, we headed down towards the pool. There was a private table setting just for the two us for lunch by the pool on the edge of the forest. Very special. Sneaky vervet monkey decided he too wanted lunch and as soon the bread basket was put on the table he snatched a bread roll. We kept a watchful eye after that and the sneaky little bugger stole a second bread roll. When Liberarty arrived for the main course, he took the bread basket back to the kitchen, only solution! Lunch was shared dishes with an Indian twist.

Spent the afternoon relaxing and at last had time for a massage. After dinner did a night drive to learn about the nocturnal animals. Unfortunately missed the lunar eclipse due to cloudy skies.
