Elder Schwalger and Elder Feliciana got their travel itinerary for April 3rd
when they will fly home to San Diego and Brazil! We'll miss them!!!
The Manzini District surprised Elder Wold with a matching shirt they had
made for his birthday. He wore it with them on the game drive.
Elders Nogueira and Sinclair on the two ends with the Manzini District,
Elders Willey, Francis, Brown (and Myeni, who was in Mbabane to get paperwork
going to go on his mission to Sierra Leone)!

Heading off with our guide, Manqoba
Huts you can stay in overnight
There is also a campground if people want to camp out.
A male elephant was eating the acacia bushes with two females
We think he is one we saw in October with just one tusk.
Close encounters with the male elephant....
Looking for lions....
We spotted two lions and were THIS close!
One was just lying down and the other wandered off in the tall grass.
She never did come out of the tall grass but I got a few pics anyway...
These are nyalas, a type of antelope native to Southern Africa.
The females are brown and the males are a dark gray color.
These are impalas. They have three black stripes on their behinds
that look like an "M". They are the most hunted animal of the big game
so people say the "M" is for McDonald's for the big animals! Ü
They were leaping and running across the road! When they feel threatened,
they can jump 9 meters in distance and over 2 meters high!
We found three hippos at a watering hole. They
kept standing up for a minute and then lying back in the water.
There were LOTS of cool birds around the hippos' watering hole.
I didn't get good pictures of them. These nests are weaver birds' nests.
We drove all over trying to find a rhino after seeing its tracks.
The other jeep got photos of it standing up with its baby, but our guide's radio went out
and by the time we found it, it was lying down.
We could see the baby moving behind the tree.
