the worst xmas I had so far...

Rained all night, lot of rain, had to drive to Msembe to pick up guests, took me 2 hours and a half.
I drove to kimilamatonge going towards the gate, had to come back because what usually is an empty little stream now was a river of raging water.
The other side of the hill was better, but I was soaked wet and rain went on and on.
Picked guests up and drove back to camp, it is so cold and wet I am shivering.
Up to w7 was all fine but then was hell, the rangers graded the road yesterday and now it is all soft soil. With the rain became terrible deep mud strip, took me 1 hour to reach camp going with low range and diff lock.
The car is often side sliding, always risking to get into the ditch along the road.
In the afternoon did the same road to go in game drive, got stuck once and managed to get out but still bad situation, we drove to Mdonya juu and back, no chance to do a decent game drive, guests obviously not very pleased.
Got stuck again twice on the way back, managed to get out again with the help of other staff pushing.
Called the warden to find a solution, we will see tomorrow morning.
Nothing could have gone worst
