South Africa - Safari Day 2


It's not easy sifting through over 2000 photos and trying to decide which ones to include, because when you're that close to the animals, there are SO many great shots. So a little more detail about the game drives. You wake up at 4:45 am, and are in the vehicle by 5:30. The first game drive goes until about 8 - 8:30. You eat breakfast from 9 -10. Then, sometimes there is a guided nature walk focusing on the plant-life, but it just depended on how hot it was, or if we went over with the game drive cuz we saw so much stuff.

The afternoon you have to relax. There aren't all that many animals out and about due to the heat. (That's what was so crucial about being at lodge #1, cuz we were right next to the watering hole). Our lodge was the only one on the watering hole).

You eat lunch from 2:30- 3:30, and the evening game drive starts at 4:30 - 8:00. Most animals are out and about at sunrise, or sunset.
