We drove ourselves today. Tonight we go on a night drive. The stars are incredible. We did get some good sights but not nearly as many as on other outings. Doug is getting sick of driving. Today’s highlight was a troop of roughly 15 elephants. They were quite a distance from us and they had 3 babies in the group. One was so tiny she had to be just a day old. We watched as they scrambled down a bank and crossed a shallow river. The baby had to be pushed across as she was not above the level of the water. Sitting on our deck we have 10 hippos grazing in the valley below. The kudos are fighting. We also stopped on a bridge. In the distance we watched a large group of elephants scramble up a steep embankment. They are so huge and the bank was so steep I did not think they would make it. The fellow beside us pointed out a very large croc in this same ravine. Doug also thought he saw a man fishing on a rock in the river. Now this is not done. You are not allowed out of your car. They say the animals would target you right away. I had my binoculars and looked and saw an enormous bird, the size of a person on this rock.Doug took a pic. Tomorrow we start our hand held portion of the trip.
