We were looking out for The Big 5 (and managed 4!): Leopard, White Rhino, Water Buffalo, Elephant (no sightings of a lion). We took our trusty white van around the huge park (the size of Wales!).
Steven from Hands was our guide for the day with plenty of local knowledge having been there over a hundred times himself. There was a max speed limit of 60KPH - so no speeding tickets today!
After a while we became quite ‘blazee’ about seeing Imparla - as they are most prevalent. We saw a wonderful array of brightly coloured exotic birds (large and small) with Spoonbills, Hornbills, Razorbills as well as Herons, and so many others - Dave would have been so excited!
We also saw; Crocodiles, Hippos, Zebra, Wilderbeasts, Warthogs, Waterbuck, Kudo, Baboons, varieties of Monkeys, Tortoise, Mongoose, Snakes and Giraffes!
A feast for the eyes and so exciting to see them in their own environment as God meant them to be. Most corners we turned there was something: either in the road or close-by in waterholes and and the river.
It was a great but long day with looking up, down and sideways, hours of driving and lots of ‘Ohhhs and Aaargghs’ and Pink Floyd ‘Wish You Were Here’ on the stereo! We got back at 7pm and the ‘Hospitality Team’ here had made us a welcomed Cottage Pie!
....and so to bed! Nite Nite!
Is the monkey a baby or a grownup? Hope you are having a nice time. Was the crocodile quite near you? Love Elsa 😤🥳🤩💩🎃👐👩🏿✈️👨💻🐵🐴🦄🦋🐾🌈🥝🍊🍉🥥🍱🍣🍡
