It is crazy to think that I have now been here for over a month. Recently I have just been following the monkeys as expected. We are up at 4.30 and dont finish until 6.15 which certainly feels like a long day, especially as you are on your feet the entire time.
Last weekend we all had a cheese and wine night which was great fun and then on the Sunday, because it was really nice weather we all headed to the waterfall lodge and went swimming in one of the pools there, it certainly wasnt the clearest water I have ever been it a good excuse to enjoy the sunshine and top up our tans.
Most evenings we are all in bed by 9 as we are up so early but there are certainly really lovely moments in the past 2 weeks which makes the long days worth while, such as the 2 samango juveniles who continue to visit my bedroom window to play peekaboo, finding the vervet monkeys when there are only 8 of them and they are silent, along with getting to play with the 4 kittens here. I certainly wish I could take one of them home but when it costs nearly £1000, I dont think I would be able to explain my spending of my grant to the university.

The weather is starting to become quite tempremental with thunder and lightning waking me up in the night but thankfully so far I am yet to be caught in a big rainstorm when out following.
This weekend my mum will arrive in Africa for 9 days in which we will travel to Kruger national park to try and find some animals along with travelling over the mountains back to Joburg before she leaves.
So, my next post will update you all on what I have gotten to see with her, lets hope I see some amazing wildlife.
Until next time
