We all suited up for some game watching and headed to Treetops Lodge, an old English establishment that literally started out as a treehouse where the Queen of England was staying when she got the call that she was going to be Queen. Pretty cool. Now it's a very big treehouse where they lock you in at night and you are in the middle of the park right in front of a watering hole where you can watch the game come and go. You eat cafeteria style with the rest of the lodge and they send your food down the middle of the tables on a conveyor belt. I heard they served Spam there but that turned out to be a cruel rumor.THe next day we went to Sweetwater Reserve and I saw my first RHINO!!! Although it was in captivity, and was at the time being reintroduced into the wild, it was amazing to see up close. They are HUGE. And not a little bit scary. Afterwards we drove around the park and got to see another rhino in the actual wild, along with cape buffalo, lots of elephants, and warthogs (which for some weird reason Gerald decided were his favorite. I think they look like guys from Jersey with mullets).
