Imake a Difference's Supporters Trip to South Africa 2014 - Day 8

DAY EIGHT:

We headed out at 6am to do a drive through the Hluhluwe - iMfolozi game reserve. This trip was a bit quieter than other game drives we have been on but we saw many magnificent birds such birchalls coucal, fiery night jars and eagles. Then whilst attending to Jamie, Lou spots a murder of crows, what a great spotter she is!

She knew straight away that there must another animal around and she was right. We saw two male lions. One sunning himself, fast asleep and the other eating away at a buffalo through the bushes. Wow what a stench of the rotting carcass! What a magnificent thing to see! Lions are such amazing creatures, so strong and powerful. I definitely wouldn't want to be too close to them.

We were then feeling a bit under the weather, tired and just about eating off our arms in hunger, so we headed back up to the restaurant. Food was just what I needed. Then we had a bit of a siesta before heading out on a sundowner drive. The African sunsets are so beautiful, I love watching the bright orange sun slowly going down behind a hill. Could watch it forever.
