Safari Day Three of Amazement and Wonder

Our days started at 5:30 am when we had a light breakfast of coffee or tea and a few biscuits then we loaded off for different locations.  We had 6 jeeps and always 5-6 in each jeep.  Lunch was served everyday when the morning trip got back and it was sandwiches, fruits and desserts.  Dinner was a menu that you pre order from before you leave for the afternoon safari.  We looked for birds and saw a few but it was very hard to locate them in the deep, dense habitat.  Here is a list of what we saw on the whole trip; giraffe, hippopotamus, lion, mocking cliff chat bird, turtle, Tawni Eagle in a nest with babies, Baboon, white winged vulture, impala, Bobbit two species of birds, Ayala, Kudu, Monitor Lizard, Mongoose, Dung Beetle, Vervet Monkeys, python, Nyala, frog, icicle plant, Açacia trees in bloom, Bush Shrike, Pin Tail Wyndam, wart hog, elephant, Weaver Bird, Black Rhinoceros, Wide Rhinoceros, White Bagged Frog, Black Ibis, cattle egrets, Buffalo, Oxpecker, elephants, huge termite hills, crocodile, Southern boubou, Sunbird ( small like a humming bird), dead bush baby, Druika red, red chested cuckoo, poisonous milkweed but not for the African Monarch

We had a wonderful time here. I noticed our guide liberty had broken binoculars so I told Dan I was going to give him mine.  Dan bought me a nice pair for the trip but I felt he needed them much more than me and it felt like the right thing to do.  He was about in tears when we gave them to me.  We have traded emails and I hope to keep in touch with him.  I told him to keep studying and educating himself. Knowledge is something no one can take from you.
