The next morning we were up at 5am for the morning game drive
We set out before sunrise, with the hope of finding some lions. Alas, the lions did not want to be found by us.
We did come across this massive herd of buffalo.
And then this hippo with a very new baby - our guide said it would have been less than a week old.
Vultures were a fairly common sight. We saw many trees that looked like this.
And we saw many, many impalas.
I knew we were in the wrong area for meerkats (one of my favourites), but we did see some mongooses (mongeese?) which are remarkably similar looking.
And plenty of baboons. They were so funny, we could have just sat and watched their antics all day!
After breakfast (which we had when we got back to the lodge), our guide took us to visit the local school. We went into 2 classrooms and had all the kids introduce themselves. Then they sang us a song at the end. It was such a great experience, even for me (I'm not really 'kid-friendly')!
