Balule Sundowner Drive

Time off after breakfast, then lunch and more rest before meeting up with guide Raymond at 3:00pm for what they call a sundowner drive. Lots of wildlife again of elephants, zebras, antelope etc. The new addition -- another of the Big 5 -- was a Cape Buffalo who stared rather intently at us. They are quite dangerous as they have a nasty temper and attack for no reason and without warning.

Just before sunset, we find a nice viewpoint facing west and open up a beer or G&T -- the 'sundowner' - is the name for your end of day drink. Nice, then a drive home with a spotter using a flashlight. Saw some hyenas, but it was pretty quiet.

Dinner was served at picnic tables around a bonfire. The cooking here is nice -- simple home style food. Tonight was beef stew.Read more
