Thursday 11th August

This morning we woke up early so we could go on our third game drive of the trip, we set off in 2 trucks and went on the search for zebras and elephants. Along the way we saw so many baboons and Impala and we also saw warthogs. (which have been come to be known as El's family) One group got driven round to the famous Dr. Livingstone tree and we all managed to squeeze inside. As we made our way back our guide took one last turn to try and see some elephants and there they were. Heaps of them were along the river bank. As we came closer they became very protective and the dominant female of the group stood in front of us and blew her trunk while the rest of her herd could pass.

In the afternoon we were set to go on a sunset cruise to go and see more animals, we drove along the lake and managed to see so many new animals (plus a far look at the Prince's camp).

Due to us missing the game drive the day before after dinner our guides scheduled us in to go on a night drive to see some nocturnal life, sadly we didn't get to see any hyena but we did see loads of mongoose and then a single porcupine making its way through the grass. We then returned to camp and fell right to sleep, putting an end onto the second last full day of this amazing trip.

  1. Hi all, what a wonderful way to end your trip. The game drive sounds amazing, how exciting to see all that wildlife, plus the 5th in line to the throne. Be gentle with him - he's probably sulking because he's missing the Olympics. Can't wait to hear about your experiences first hand - two more sleeps and you'll be back; you won't believe how much we've missed you. Safe journey and see you on Sunday morning, all our love, Dad, Mum and Ellen (Millie's folks) x
