    MADIKWE 3rd Day

    April 8, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Another early morning.
    Surprised to see a leopard tortoise. Just mossin' down the road.
    Next, a pile of dung. We watched the dung Beatles finish its ball of dung and roll it down the road!
    Our guide was notified this morning that the three male lions were close by. First visit, they were just laying by the road having a cat nap. The older lion is 14 yrs, the younger 2 are abt 4 yrs. When we returned, one of the younger lions was more alert, and you realized how massive the males are.

    The morning was definitely a giraffe day. The elephants were on an eating frenzy, trees were being demolished.
    Final spotting, water buffalo in daylight.

    Returned for breakfast. We were entertained by the resident Hornbill. When he couldn't find any more food that might have been dropped, he would head to the sliding glass door and peck at it.

    Off to Joburg! Bitter sweet day leaving Madikwe, an amazing experience.
