Out of the bush, for now

Hey all,
Sorry this hasn't been updated. The bush does not have internet all that often. Its been amazing. I'm in Opuwo, doing plant transects. Its been crazy awesome. I don't have time to say everything so I will just say what I've done ever so briefly.

We gone to Etosha National Park, to Waterberg NP, to The Cheetah Conservation Fund, to Hobatere concession for research. We've tracked rhinos, and we've worked on the Kunene Region Ecological Assessment.

We recently went to Purros Conservancy, and went lion tracking with a man named flip, who works with the desert lions. It was incredible. We moved less than a kilometer in a grand total of 7.5 hours, because we were staked out watching for them. And it was worth it. There were three cubs who came out to play in the road 50m from our cars. It was incredible. I can't believe how close things have come. I've slept on a landrover while four lions moved through camp, and I watched them. Also elephants have touched tents, because they were eating the pods from the trees in our rhino trtacking camp.

Got to run. Much love. Sorry about the delay.
