One of the many joys of the summery rainy season is the long days; it’s possible to do a day’s work and still have time to spend a couple of hours in the bush before dark!
I have been taking full advantage of this opportunity over the last few weeks, especially since I will be in the UK and SA for 5 weeks in Jan and Feb where elephant sightings will be more limited….!
As always, I am amazed at what we can find in this National Park. On a 2 hour trip, during the rainy season, with no real plan, I am regularly finding 1 or 2 of the big predators, endless elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, hippo and a multitude of birds in their breeding best.
Over the last few days, we have made several trips in the afternoons, and here are a selection of the best experiences. They perhaps show the fallacy of “all the game disappears in the rainy season”.
