Tuesday, October 3, 2006

To get a bit of the safari experience for Mum and Dad we stayed at this park and went for a couple of game drives.

This park has lots of elephants, rhino, giraffe and we also saw lions and a hyena as well as lots of antelopes and monkeys.

The elephants put on a special show during the evening game drive, surrounding the safari vehicle and chasing each other whilst trumpeting. Later in the evening our way back to the camp was blocked by a large elephant who was eating in the middle of the road. He wasn't moving for anyone and after a few trys (including the old turn off the lights of the car so he won't know we're here trick) we were forced to turn around and take the long way back to the camp.

The park here is really beautiful with rolling hills and from the Hilltop Camp you have a beautiful view and may see elephants grazing in the distance.
