Morning Game Drive...

Wow, we slept well...considering all of the sounds in the night. We were both awake at 2:00 for a half hour. We awoke with a knock at the door... our morning wake up call at 6:00am. Gabriel had fresh coffee and cookies for us. After our coffee on look out balcony, we got dressed and met John @ 7:00am for our first game drive.

It was still early and cool out. We saw the likes of more Giraffe, emu, water buffalo, zebras and Galezzes. We stopped in an open plain at 9:15 for breakfast (a-la Safari)... Amazing! Fried egg sammy's on Fuccia rosemary bread..sausages, fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee.

After B-fast we headed for the Rhino area...but as big as they are they eluded us... Maybe this aft.

We found a lone Elephant that wasn't too sure about a white land cruiser... I was standing in the back with the top half of me poking through the hatch and Jas has in the back seat... Mr. Elephant decided to fake charge us! Jas freaks out...I keep snapping pic's!... Nothing happened and the result was amazing photo's.

Were back at the lodge now (1:30) for lunch and a swim. We planned the next game drive for 4:00.

TTYS....
