Botswana Birthday

I celebrated this year's birthday with a very special birthday cake made for me in camp by Dandy the cook. He baked it over an open fire in a cast iron pot and frosted it with peanut butter and wrote on it in jam. Peanut butter and jelly spice cake in a campsite that was breathtakingly beautiful, not a bad way to celebrate. But even more, on the drive in we spotted 16 different animals including the first sable we had ever seen. The list: elephant, hippo, lion, giraffe, buffalo, sable, kudu, impala, reedbuck, puku, mongoose, crocodile, water monitor, wart hog, baboon and vervet monkey, and birds too numerous to mention.
