The White Hippo


As we were heading back to camp, Dixon suggested we go see the “white hippo”. No problem. All of Dixon’s suggestions have been great so far. The “white hippo” was actually a chef. We had breakfast “in the bush”. They had set up tables and a buffet in the reserve. Breakfast was great. There were armed escorts around the site to keep out the lions and leopards. While having breakfast, we heard a good leopard story. A few months earlier, when the staff came to set up the buffet, a leopard was in a tree immediately above the buffet spot with a kill, a gazelle. The leopard was scared off but left the gazelle in the tree until breakfast was finished.
