Well last night was not easy for me to sleep. I think somewhere between 3 and 4 am I woke up and couldn't fall asleep. Between the elephants, hyenas and other night life, it was so loud for me. I really tried. It's wild hearing all these noises at night. Plus in the mornings it sounds like a symphony getting loader and loader from 6 am for an hour. All the birds start waking up.
What a beautiful day to spend the entire day in this park. Of course we saw lots and lots of elephants. So many herds with so many babies. Steve says this is the largest elephant population that is still growing since it's well protected. He also mentioned at one time all the elephants were sired by only 3 elephants. So much to learn here.
We had wonderful lunch overlooking a river. Of course there were a lot of vervet monkeys looking for food. They are so sneaky here. But the other animal that was great to see was hundreds of zebras. So many were here and they were all following in a line throughout the park. Apparently they weren't in the park a few weeks ago but recent rains lured them back. I would like to name all the animals I saw but the list is far to long.
On the way home to our camp to day we were greeted by a large bachelor group of elephant males and they were big. Steve says he can't remember seeing so many Bulls here.
Each night here we have seen elephants outside our camp in the evening and we had a wonderful fire on a deck where we watched the sun set. The nights have been perfect here.
One thing that is nice when you come to each new place is that they greet us with a fruit drink and hot towel. It is so nice to be greeted this way.
Why a hot towel and not a cool one?
ReplyDeleteNot sure but you are somewhat dirty from driving on the dirty sandy roads here. It's hard to not have the windows and top up.
