11/24/17 - On 11/6, We are up at 5 30 am, breakfast at 6 00 am and left for our all day game drive at 6 30 am. We saw some routine animals and then went into an area where there was other cabins and found a pavilion where we were able to observe a water hole with lots of elephants and the water hole was shared with lots of other animals. It was so interesting to watch. Some animals would leave and others would be coming in. We probably were there for a good hour and half. We also had our picnic lunch there. It was scheduled to be outside but the guides changed their minds because of all the baboons that were around the water hole and at times not far from the pavilion. They set up the table but warns us not to put our plates on the ledge because the baboons were behind us. One of the girls did not hear the warning and before long here comes a baboon from the back and tried to get the plate to fall down the ledge so they could get the food. Well, the guide was quick and the baboon only got the edge of the plate so she still had all of her food. The guide then had his lunch at the doorway to keep the baboons out of our area. Quite interesting. We then looked for more animals on our way back to the camp. We had some leisure time. We had a talk by one of the girls regarding the African girls. She told us her own story. Was very fascinating. We had dinner and then escorted to our tent cabins.
