NOTE OF WARNING: This post will be very heavy on the animal pics so I apologise in advance....please feel free to skip if animals are not your thing!
Day 5 Part 2 - "Looks like there's a Giraffic jam up ahead"
I marched myself through AK to KS and by the time I got there they were still waiting for the first cars to arrive to whisk us off on our adventures and so it was up to a couple of the CMs to keep us entertained which they did with some great banter between themselves and one of the guests. Made it onto the 3rd car that went out and I was on the edge which meant I wasn't going to have to bash anyone with my zoom lens.
Here was our lovely tour guide
Bongos
Shy Black Rhino
Sable Antelope (I think)
Baobab Tree
Termite mound
Juvenile Reticulated Giraffe
The Giraffic Jam
How rude!
Baby Giraffe
Baby African Elephant
Flamingos
African Lion
White Rhino
Grumpy Zebra
This was the last animal we saw (or that I was able to get a photo of but I can't for the life of me remember what type of antelope it is)
So there you have an overview of my safari. I did enjoy it but I did miss the whole poacher storyline but I can kind of understand why they took it out as it was fairly graphic. Our guide was fairly knowledgeable but I've certainly had better. As you can see those darn Cheetahs were also able to elude my 300mm zoom lens. I had scoffed reading about the problems others had had trying to get a shot of them but my god they were difficult to find!
but anyway, a great way to start my day....
