KATI KATI CAMP

We slept in canvas tents. During the night we could hear buffalo and/or other animals shuffling around, and one late afternoon Mitch came upon a lioness heading up to the hills behind us. After dinner in the dark an escort (armed with a stick) usually took us back to our tent.

We found several more lions in the area. This young male was relaxing near a termite mound. 

Our tent included two twin beds, flush toilet, and a shower.

The beds were pretty comfortable. The nights were pleasantly chilly.

The shower consisted of a canvas bag that got filled with heated water at the arranged time and hoisted up over the shower head. Announcement: “Your shower is ready.” The person taking the shower would then pull a cord to start the shower. It actually worked pretty well.

The camp water supply.

Solar was the 100% source for energy.

The Camp kitchen supplied us with three excellent meals a day. Joanne’s favorite was the breakfast crepes. There were stews and soups and a great selection of vegetables plus chicken, lamb or beef. 

The main tents where we took our meals, held meetings, or just hung out. 

Things went pretty smoothly and even when one of the vehicles broke down during a game drive, it was turned into an fun picnic.
