After lunch and
check-in with our new arrivals, we set out for a late afternoon drive.
It was a very
hot day and by departure time it was still well into the 30's...
Our first
sighting for the afternoon was a male White Rhino which was leisurely grazing
under a shady tree some distance away. This was a highlight, as Rhino was
number 1 on the wish list!
We also found
very good general game throughout the afternoon, including a mixed herd of
Impala, Zebra and Giraffe. There was a small baby zebra in the herd and we
watches it trying to hide behind it's mother, it's long legs the only thing
betraying it's presence.
Another highlight
of the afternoon was a small breeding herd of elephant. We watched them feeding
for some time and could see some youngsters barely visible above the tall
grass...
The drive ended
with a beautiful Saddle-billed Stork roosting in a dead tree, silhouetted by
the sunset!
