Tue 22nd Tswalu 2nd Full Day

To day we changed the routine for the day as I wanted to see Aardvark and Brown Hyena.   We were going  out in the morning, coming back to the lodge for Lunch and then going out again at 16:00.  This would give me the chance to walk out into the bush unaccompanied to do my own thing and as there were no Lions I was reasonably safe.  Provided I took my GPS compass and water I would be able to find my way back to the Lodge.

The morning was cold but the animals seemed reluctant to runaway so studying them was good.  In the morning we sighted the usual Antelope (Oryx, Hartebeest and Springbok) as well as Ostrich and Black Rhino.

The walk in the bush was hampered by several families of warthogs but the photosof the butterflies, birds and trees was enjoyable.

The late afternoon was good as we had to find the set that the Brown Hyena and her 3 cubs were using.  Also on the way back we came across a Lesser Spotted Eagle Owl that was happy to sit and be photographed unlike every other one flew away almost immediately.

I would like to thank the following for making my stay so memorable.
