Coffee in bed a 6:00am, breakfast at 6:30 and our mornings walking safari started at 7:30. No lazing around and sleeping late this morning. The walking safari consisted of our group plus one other guest and two armed guides/rangers. We walked for about 2 hours through a variety of vegetation examining animal signs on the ground, and old animal kills. We saw herds of zebra, met a few wart hogs, water bucks, giraffe, and had a bit of a standoff with a lone buffalo. But all in all it was interesting but not eventful.

Following the walking safari it was into our safari vehicle for the days main event another game drive. The big herbivores were in abundance today and initially the only new creature was the pesky tsetse fly and we spent a good hour before lunch swatting these things before coming upon a group of safari vehicle watching a well camouflaged, and somewhat distant, pride of lions. Needless to say the lions drove any concern with insects from our thoughts.

It was not long however before the lions were completely upstaged by closeup sightings of two leopards, both lounging in trees, watching the various herds of potential meals.
