Thornybush evening safari, Sunday

After excitement at the hide we had a snack before heading off with Johnno and Daley for a safari drive. To get out of the camp we all had to duck as we went through the open gate which had an electric wire across the top. These vehicles had so sides except bars to hang on to and no roof so we were more exposed. Daley the tracker sat on a seat attached to the front of the vehicle.

Our first big excitement was seeing a rhinoceros which let us get up quite close. We saw a few birds, most of which we had seen before and so could identify easily and a hyena up close.

We stopped for sundowners with a lovely view then drove back to camp with Daley spotlighting. We saw some Sandgrouses sitting on the road.

Once back at camp we sat around the blazing fire until the coals were hot enough to start the braai ie bbq and Johno cooked the meat and we had lots of other delicious salad and vegies to go with the meat for dinner.Read more
