On safari - Animals

On our second drive, we saw more Elephants, Giraffe, Zebra and even a Golden Orb Spider breakfasting on a moth

before we caught up with the wild dog pack again - finishing off their meal of impala - and some hopeful White-backed Vultures.

Then we found a Black-backed Jackal enjoying a Scrub Hare carcass which he had managed to steal from a Tawny Eagle.

 On the way home we left the truck in Ephraim's care and with Shaddy's safety lecture fresh in our minds we had a 90 minute Bush walk back to the camp where we came upon the Elephants and Buffalo again - without incident - and a group of vultures feeding on a carcass in the grass. By the time we got back to the camp it had got hot and we felt like we had earned our breakfast!
