Friday 3 3 17 Game drive

Today we awoke at 6am for a lovely breakfast and set off on a full day of wildlife adventure. Everest knew all the places to look and was very good at spotting animals and birds hidden in the bush.
The terrain was very varied changing from dense bush and woodland to open plains.
It was exciting going around each corner not knowing which animals we would come across next.


Warthogs who were very nervous


There were flocks of these colourful and noisy weaver birds 
outside the hotel they make intricate nests in the trees to attract a mate


Bateleur eagle a medium sized eagle whose favorite
 food was the ring necked doves
 who were very plentiful


There were numerous hers of zebra with beautiful stripe marks


Bush bucks who live in the dense foliage


African bee eater

Giraffe quite difficult to spot when they are camolauged among the acacia trees


African fish eagle by the lake


Hippo practically submerged in the lake


Secretary bird a large mainly terrestrial bird which is related to eagles
 and hunts it's prey on the ground.
