11/18/17 - 10/29,  We are up by 5 30 am, breakfast at 6 00 am and today is an all day game drive.  We saw hippopotamus in a pond, impalas, warthogs, cape buffalo during the drive.  We stopped around 9 00 am for coffee, tea and cookies.  Some took a bathroom break and as the tour guide calls it they increased the level of the nearby water!!  We then went again in search of animals until time for our picnic lunch.  As the driver and Manuel were setting up the buffet table, we had an audience of monkeys who were watching to see when they could grab some food.  Well, we had to be very careful and two monkeys did grab some food right off one of the plates!!  Back on the jeep to go look for animals.  The afternoon was uneventful.  When we got back to the lodge, we had juice, water, tea or coffee with a snack.  We then had a little time to ourselves before dinner.  At dinner, we experience a typical African dinner and we learned to eat with our hands.  Eventually, some of us had to ask for utensils.  We then had some entertainment from the staff since this was our last night at the Baobab Lodge.  The entertainment was great.  The African people can really sing and dance.  They asked us to portray  our talents and we could not think of anything but then sang "Row, row your boat"!!  A chilly evening and off to bed.
