Greetings from our first safari! We were told that our safari goes from "rustic to luxury" over the course of the next 2 weeks, not sure how much I believe that. Nxabega (pronounced - nah-bay-ha with a clicking sound for the nah) was an amazing camp- rustic my *ss. My "tent" consisted of a common area with a king size bed, desk, sitting area and a bathroom larger than my bedroom at home. If you want to see pictures of the camps, they are all run by the company &beyond (formerly known as CC Africa)...Anyways, two nights in the safari was def not sufficient for me to get over the elephants and hippos cruising by my tent in the middle of the night. They dont fence out the animals so you really never know who or what will be coming to visit you in the night- scarryyy!
We had a lovely two hour drive from the airport (dirt runway with animals crossing constantly) which had moments on land and sea. It was like a combination of the jungle cruise and indian jones ride at disneyland. Ive never seen a car that had a snorkel attached to it and have to use it!!! 
The schedule was a little difficult to get used to- 6am wake up call (in person, not phone), 630 breakfast, 7-11 morning drive, 11 brunch, 12-3 siesta, 3 high tea, 4-8 afternoon drive, 8 dinner, 10 bed. So much food, not enough sleep for Miss Lisa.

Our guide, Master (love you, Master!), was a really good tracker and he tracked a leopard with nothing more then his spotlight. She was literally standing in the field right in front of us yawning, licking her paws, and preparing to take down an impala. Seriously such a beautiful animal...
