Day 7. Another full day on the safari


In the morning game drive, we saw the lion pride again. It looked like they did not have any success hunting last night because they did not have any blood stain on them. 

We saw three black rhinos very closely: Dina, her baby son, and her adult daughter. Dina's daughter already lives independently and only meets with Dina occasionally. Themba and Jimmy showed us that the rangers clip the ears of each rhino so that they can recognize them. Dina's son is still a baby, so later he will have his ears clipped and his horn shaved.

We drove to Olifants River and saw hippos. They were shy, so by the time I got my cell phone camera ready, they were already hiding in the water, and I was only able to catch a picture of the top of their heads. In one minute, they disappeared completely in the water.

On the way back, we saw an elephant, busy eating as always. We also saw giraffes and zebras and some antelope that I forgot the names.   



Afternoon game drive was as fun as usual. We saw zebras, lions, rhinos, elephants, owls. We saw a group of mongoose, they were the size of a tiny squirrel but they could swam up and kill a snake.

Dinner was delicious as usual.
