Christmas in Africa

While everyone else was stressing over presents and cooking turkey, Christmas Day was a lazy day for us. We decided to skip out on our final jeep safari since we felt like we had seen most of the animals we wanted to see, or at least enough to not want to get up at 5:30AM for the fourth straight day. We had a lie in (HAR! "lion"!) then after a lazy lunch were meant to hop in a Cesna to hop over to Eagle Island Camp. However, some storms moved in (the first rain we've seen since we got here) and the plane was grounded for a few hours. We were forced to kill the afternoon getting buzzed in the lobby bar where we met this happy little fellow:


When the weather finally cleared we managed to get Eagle Island it was late enough that we just went straight to dinner and called it a night.

Not a bad way to spend Christmas day, if I do say so myself.
