Sounds like a nightmare week?!?

One of my greatest fears is getting ill far from home. As I am usually
travelling for work rather than pleasure, getting ill is doubly bad.

I did get ill once in Uganda (salmonella), and I really thought I was
going to die. Ever since then I travel with a course of Ciprofloxicin
just in case.

I'm glad you ended up having good sightings eventually. People don't
understand that about Kruger. The animals are unpredictable and you
can go for days without seing much. It's not "canned" game viewing
like so many other places.
