A very noisy night with repeated bursts of gunfire for
several hours, some of which were really close to the campsite. In the morning we learned that it
hadn’t been poachers but rather the naughty elephants had been trying to make a
run for it out of the park and the rangers had been firing warning shots to keep them in the reseseve. Hopefully with African Wildlife Parks having
now taken over the running of the park, they will be able to make the park more
secure.
We left Bua River at 7 am, heading south to Monkey Bay and Cape
Maclear. We managed to go wrong a couple of times but still arrived in plenty
of time for the 3 pm ferry across to Mumbo Island. On arrival we had a message waiting for us from Safari
Drive asking us to provide details of the fridge, so at least we knew something
was being done to sort out the fridge.
The ferry took 45 minutes over to the island. Our chalet is perched on the top of a rock
with fabulous views across the lake of the sunrise. We went for a quick swim as
soon as we arrived before descending on the bar for sundowners and a fantastic three course dinner.
