Some days out here, you just have to enjoy all the intricacies in nature. With a great group of guest who are not afraid to chirp or get chirped, we headed out on what was to be a flowing drive. Everything just presented itself at the right time. We got to spend plenty of quality time with the animals we found and there were lots of great questions which always helps my explanations.
We had rhinos feeding next to the vehicle, buffalo wallowing 5 metres from us and a host of little things that just seemed to jump out at us...first it was a grasshopper jumping into the vehicles, spiders being hooked onto the vehicles and me jumping out of the vehicle to get the next talking point. There were many unsuccessful attempts to photograph birds in flight and everyone seemed to be enjoying the avian abundance that day. We even found time to discuss some of the LBJ's (little brown jobs).
This morning started off with fresh lion tracks but after 30 minutes of tracking and last tracks heading into thick bush where the vehicle couldn't follow we pulled out and went in search of animals that wanted to be seen. We eventually got the opportunity to see our lioness but unfortunately her cubs were hidden in the deep bush and were a little shy. So the plan for the afternoon is to head out and see if the little ones decide to grace us with their presence...
The morning was finished off with a nice walk discussing all the things we normally drive past in the vehicles. Walking allows lots of time to look at flowers, butterflies and other small creatures and see how they interact with their environment. All par cooked from the sun we arrived back at the lodge for some breakfast and a little bit of high quality H2O!
