Elandela is a medium sized game reserve and it’s about 200 miles east of Middelburg where we stayed last night. It took 4 hours to drive here and within 2 minutes of entering the reserve, on the way to the lodge Mike saw his first giraffe and the sheer delight in his voice was palpable .
We saw more wildlife on the 3km drive to the lodge then we checked in, had some lunch then went out for our first game drive.
We saw more giraffes, zebra, lions (less than 2m away) rhinoceros, also less than 2m away, water buffalo, numerous birds, lizards hippopotami, antelope, rabbits, bat’s and all sorts.
Up tomorrow morning at 5:15 for a morning drive and no doubt plenty more pictures.
