    We had an early start- grabbed a bite at the Garden Cafe before heading out.

    We had a 1-1/2 hour trip to Keriega where we were greeted with juice and water, then boarded our 4WD vehicles for some critter-watching.

    I accidentally deleted my list of all the animals we saw, but am happy to say we saw a sleeping lion (and the remains of his dinner.) Another high point was watching a parade of Cape Buffalo. We discovered that they were heading to the watering hole for some refreshment and mud-splashing. There were more giraffes there.

    I love the picture of the 2 zebra who look like they're cuddling. In truth, they're looking out for predators.

    There were some rhinos- we couldn't get close.

    There was a lovely lunch prepared for us, (I had ostrich) and the servers sang a couple of welcome songs.

    As we were headed toward our bus, we saw warthogs😁
