Amani Lodge
Katy, Timna, Simon and I are leaving for Etosha National Park tomorrow morning and we will get home sometime on Monday. It is six hours to Etosha, plus hours of driving in the park, but it will be worth it to see an elephant or a pride of lions.
Thursday night we brought Katy out to a club to go dancing. We met Nangula and some of the volunteers there and danced until early in the morning. It was cute to see Katy out on the dance floor- but not so cute when dudes tried to dance with her! Fortunately most people here think we are dating so the guys were respectful.
Today Katy, Simon, and I went to Amani Lodge which is about 30km southwest of Windhoek. Our friend Shaun recommended it to us and it was amazing! It is situated in the mountains with stunning views of the horizon. Oh, and they have cheetahs, leopards, and lions!! We took the “Sundowner” game drive. The drive starts with the feeding of 5 cheetahs. The cheetahs are being raised to be released in the wild. Next we saw the leopard. I saw cheetahs and leopards at another lodge in 2006 and the leopard has always impressed me with its agility, beauty, and strength. It is amazing to see them scale a tree to get food. Finally we saw the lion and his lioness. The male lion is incredible- truly the king of the jungle. He walks with purpose and we could hear him roar for kilometers. All three animals are absolutely stunning. The drive ended back at the lodge which is a luxorious African retreat, complete with a warthog hanging out by the bar. The sunset was beautiful (as they always are here) Pictures and words don’t really describe the experience … I would definitely spend more time at Amani
Have a wonderful weekend… God bless you!!
