Day 5
Up early again and saw loads more animals, including briefly a lion carrying a carcass behind a bush - but the highlight was in the afternoon when I booked myself in for a bush walk; fortunately I was the only one who had booked, so I got my own 3 hour walk in the bush with 2 rangers (with rifles). It was great to be out of the car and looking around and learning about the animals and they tracked some buffalo first on some cliffs, but then went round and ‘met’ them and got close enough to get the adrenalin pumping - before some bird flew up out of the grass and spooked them so they ran off - wooses

I took this shot at dusk after the walk and it was almost as if the zebra's mate also wanted to be in the pic

No wooly hats in D Lodge
Many thanks for pics and travelogue. You seem to be enjoying the nature and environment much more than the football but even I am not surprised by that in view of the national team's perforamance to date. All is well in London, warm and sunny at 28C and tired of work already, but likely to have a free week next week. Take care.
