WEDNESDAY 23RD - REST DAY TODAY


Very relaxing day today. It started with the photo below taken at the waterhole 50 metres from our accommodation. I have posted it upside down just to cause a little confusion. This is an oryx. They are quite common but I don't think I have specifically mentioned it before.

 
Most days we have been up at 5:30 for breakfast and a game drive or vice versa but today, we had the luxury of breakfast at 7:30 and a game drive at 8:30.


As game drives go, it was one of our less spectacular but still notable for the the herds of zebra, wildebeest and springbok we saw converging on a natural spring on the edge of the salt pan.


When we got back from our morning drive, there was quite a level of activity at the home waterhole.


And after lunch, there was even more activity, about 25 elephants came to drink and play.



This afternoon, we had our last game drive as such. We move on to other activities from here. But of course we had a grand finale, a lion and two lionesses.



What fantastic experiences we are having.
