We left the camp at 15h30 and had good sightings of animals that afternoon. Upon returning to the camp, verity, Mark and myself got down to making the group there dinner. As this was a church group and wanting to keep prices as low as possible, we give the option of Nhongo Safaris doing the catering for them.

Day 4 Saw us leaving early on a morning game drive, some of the group decided to stay in camp and have a rest as we were going to drop the group off at Johannesburg International Airport for there flight home to Australia.
