Stuff seen on game drives






A strangler tree (the viney one) where the vine strangles it host tree and takes over). The postman tree where people used to leave messages and other people heading in that direction will take it along with them.

On one game drive we came across the hyena den with their pups, here's quite a good short clip... there are alot of animals that we saw, the cheetah, the leopard, the lions, elephant, a variety of yummy (quoting loren) antelope, buffalo, hippos, giraffe, primates... oh another great thing about this place, they give you a guide book to animals, flora and fauna of the place! Nice Touch Sir RB!

For the uninitiated, the white poo belongs to the hyena... its all crushed bone and the residue calcium, not too many carcases in this area, in fact we only saw one big male elephant skull that prob could not get broken down by the hyenas.
