Fireworks finale

Last morning spent on our patio...

Blythe gets to be our tracker for the day.

It was as if every animal came out to say goodbye.  Scary dinosaurs...

leopards...

wild dogs...

giraffes and zebras...GOODBYE AMAZING AFRICA

Good morning

Good morning Africa...

First up, an elephant charge...that'll wake you up rather quickly.  Later that morning, we were charged by a growling leopard.  Don't have video of that but I do have the soiled underwear.

Herd of zebra having a drink.

Baboons!!!

Safari Dave and his rhino...

Al fresco breakfast

Eggs and sausage in the bush...incredible!!

See, I don't only love him for his miles...

After breakfast, we went on a bush walk to learn about the tracks and trees...we were treated to a couple of giraffes on the way.

Ann can't contain her excitement.

Posing with his friends, the waterbucks.

This morning's drive started out with a young male lion...

Notice it has the same mane color as this species, 
the African Ginger

Another leopard...YAWN...

First morning drive

Morning game drive...

First up, lion cub...

...then an elephant and her baby...

then the mother leopard perched up high...

The giraffe kept peeking out to see if we were still watching him...

Then we saw this right before it was time to head back for breakfast...I'll have just the fruit please...
