Fantastic afternoon.

Giraffe were on the agenda first as we sighted a large number of giraffes. Great shots of the giraffes who were very active and running at times they normally just amble along.

Some when down to drink but the sun was in the wrong direction for photos. This one came out as a unique photo.


After the giraffe action we started off quietly looking for yet another leopard. We were in a dry river bed when we saw an elephant with his trunk in the river bed sucking up water that was below the sandy river. Seen this before but it always amazed me.

Followed that up with a leopard in a tree with an impala kill on the ground. We waited for a while watching her until suddenly there were bees. We left because of the bees. Never experienced bees on safari before.

THERE ARE NO PICTURES ON THE NEXT ADVENTURE IT WAS DARK.
We were on our way back to the lodge when we saw four rhinos going down to drink in the river we followed them and took some great pictures (we cannot post rhino pictures)

We spotted a male lion on the side of the river. We went over to that area and he started roaring. Then me crossed over continuing to roar. We followed it for a while. This is an incredible treat they are so loud it is one of my favorite thing to hear lions roar.

Or ranger decided to go to the rest of the pride that were all coming together to see the reunion between the male lion and the pride.

It was starting to get dark and lions were coming in all over the place. Total of 18 lions in the pride but a break off part of the pride seemed to arrive as well. I believe there four of them. Lions everywhere.

There was buffalo and water buck in the area. It got very dark and we were deep in the bush. How our ranger could drive was beyond me. We were knocking down trees (that spring right back up) waiting for a kill. A lot of vehicles joined the situation it was very exciting. This is what I love the anticipation of a kill and the incredible driving of the rangers. I was in heaven.

However we already were an hour late so we headed back missing the cocktail hour but back in time dinner.
