The lions sleep tonight…

After GTZ office here realized an amazing year of projects and activities this weekend time-building was scheduled in the Kuthse-desert. Several games-drives were done but somehow Kuthse did not liked us, we saw very rarely animals not in the afternoon nor in the early (!) morning drive but spot a gepard and no lions. Botswana claimes to be a lion-country but after attending ten game-drives in this country I have to conclude that there are no lions in the country or they are only sleeping all time… The team-building with almost twenty people, working for the GTZ Water Project, was great adventure not only with game-drives but als with dunkey races and a legendary chrismas party without snow but presents.

After some days at workshop in Francistown in the South-East of Botswana I came back today and just wanted to relax after six hours of bus-drive and early-bird-departure. So I decided to finally visit the Mokolodi-Game Reserve, which is only twenty kilometers away from Gaborone. Normally everybody goes there first after arriving but it took me a longer while but I was amazed by the green woods after the rainy days and the beautiful landscape. We saw elephants, giraphs, anthilops, bamboons and finally also cheetahs. I was so attached by them that Duma and Latotse started flirting with me, after I touched their heads one of them softly touched my head with its paw, of course without showing the claws… well, okay they were used to be touched by visitors but it was an amazing feeling after all.
