Our first morning game drive

A knock came on our door at 5:30 to get us up for the morning game drive. After coffee and rusks we on the porch with the sun rising we took off.

We saw a new creature this morning. Diver is the English translation of its name because it dives away to avoid being eaten.

We encountered a second pride of lions and observed some dominance behaviour of the large male above over a younger male.

This is the largest elephant we have seen so far. He was also in mhust.

I caught an escaping Nyala in the photo above.

Jerry our tracker is on the left and Joel is on the right. Joel told us he was going to show us a strange and large white animal. It turned out to be a long table with white table clothes in the bush beside the river where our guides cooked us a magnificent bush breakfast.

While we were sitting down to eat our breakfast a herd of elephants crossed the river in front of us, close enough to hear them splashing.

At 3:30 today we will embark on our second drive for the day hoping to find the rhinos we 'saw' last night in the dark.
