Genset day!


Today we need to get the generator set at Matota, we had a nice breakfast at Camp Kwando where we stayed for the night, sorted out some admin whilst we still had WIFI and now off to Matota! 

First things first....tyre pressure in this thick hot sand, it's climbing to the high 30's now!


Generator is offloaded....took some diving with the vehicle!


On arrival at Matota we we're greeted by the friendly group of staff that has been working so hard to get Matota ready


even our beds are ready!


and then......the cry of the fish eagle....this must be the most amazing sound in the world, he must be exited too. The staff is eager to offload the genset, electricity for the 1st time since their start 4 months ago.



It's hot......very hot, close to 40 degrees now.

The sun beetles are humming and the staff tells me the hippo frequent the camp every night, I'm looking forward to these encounters.

Felix one of our trainers has put his free time to some artistic use, this was such a nice surprise!



We are all so ready to get this project off the ground!

Hot exhausted and dirty! What a great day!
