It's silence again in camp (well as quiet as it gets here with a whole choir of crickets chirping), the monkeys are all tucked up away in their branches.  Dave and I have just got back from a very little walk just around camp as we were getting a bit of cabin fever as we've been hanging around the lodge all day.  There was a lot of screeching going on from a tree the other side of camp so we went to investigate.  We got there just in time to see the Vervet monkeys fleeing.  We have two gangs of monkeys living either side of us the Vervets, which are very cute and curious; live to the front of us and the Samangos live to the back of us who are much more skittish.  They make the strangest noises and the two troops don't get on so they are often fighting.  So I got to see my first Samango monkey today and they are very similar to the Vervets but they're slightly darker colouring than the Vervets and they have beards!!

We've just had pancakes for supper, which were very nice but all I want is a big juicy steak.  I've probably only gone about a week without a steak but it's amazing how much you want something when you know you cant have it!!
