1 The morning drives started at 6 a.m.
2 The afternoon drives generally started at 3 p.m.
3 All aboard!
4 The first two days we were there, Gary and I had Janine all to ourselves. The third day we were joined by just one other couple. After that, we joined up with 6 other people travelling together, and were with them on the rest of the drives.
58 One day we went on a night drive and saw nocturnal animals that rarely come out during the day.
59 Besides the hippos, we saw a bush baby and a bush pig but were unable to get photos. Also saw a couple toads and a nightjar (bird).
60 Huge vultures were hovering over the spot where the cheetah had made the kill that we saw.
61 They also liked hanging out at the "Vulture Restaurant" boneyard, where carcasses of dead animals were often taken.
