Not sure exactly where in Africa, but a definite great wander (and phone photos)!
Thanks for sharing
Edit: Well this is embarrassing, I started the reply yesterday, but didn’t click on post. It’s just been sitting here. I love the leopard shot, and the first two lioness and cub shots.

Have fun! The phone photos are great, but I look forward to seeing the images from the “big” camera. I bet there will be some award winners.

I knew it had to be another continent!
Thanks for the glimpse at the spectacular wildlife. We also are excited to see more of yours and your gal's award winners!

Patrick, you’re having too much fun! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the "safari".A lot easier than going there for most of us.
Very beautiful photos.

Yesterday evening heading back to the lodge, prop hit something and sheared the key on the propeller. Got towed in by a tour boat.

Today we used the second boat while a mechanic took the bottom end off the outboard. Says there is more damage inside and has to be shipped off for further repairs . We still have one boat.
This afternoon game drive float we went by the other boat to see progress. Driver went into neutral and then foward.. . Nothing???
Guide asked me what's going on. I said raise the motor out of the water look at the propeller. GONE! Yup it slide off the shaf into the water. Called mechanic, brought a new propeller set up and got it shorted out temporarily until tomorrow afternoon.
Thank goodness we were at a excellent location and not out on the river!

Eeeeeek! Not good! I don’t see 
a cotter pin on the castle nut. If the mechanic leaves it off, there could be another lost prop.
Stay safe, keep the photos coming, they’re much enjoyed!
Edit: That’s not a castle nut, there is no way to secure the prop and thrust washer. Make sure there are paddles for every passenger.
