Seeing Some Animals

This afternoon Paul had to do a gate pick-up from one of the nearby gates. So I went for a drive with him. It is always nice to get out of the lodge when I have the chance. On the way back from the gate we saw a giraffe. We watched it for a little while as it ate leaves with its very long tongue. Paul tried to encourage staff to get out and have their photo taken with it, but no-one including me was brave enough to get out of the vehicle.

Around the corner we spotted a male lion resting among the burnt bush. We watched him for a while and were in awe when he yawned and showed off his long sharp teeth.

Near the lodge we saw an older male kudu who could hide very well among the burnt, dry bush. It was only an hour long drive- but it feels so good to get out and go on a short drive.
