When we return to camp we were delighted to find that the entire herd of 400 buffalo are at the watering hole! What a sight! One elephant came to drink also!
It has been an incredible and exhilarating morning!

10 AM breakfast is served. Cold cereal, granola, milk and juice available on sideboard. Tomsa, our cook, serves each of us a cup with muesli, covered with a custard like topping. It was wonderful. I assumed it was the meal, but she came around shortly thereafter to take our order for eggs (cooked to order) and bacon or the mornings egg special. All very delicious!
After breakfast it is time for “Bush Walk”, walking with the Ranger into the wilderness to look at plants, small animals, insects and what ever else you discover. I went for part of the walk but returned to room early for a much needed rest.

| Yellow billed hornbill
These birds spent much time at the lodge, including hopping around inside if allowed. |
 |
| Landscape is covered in large mounds... termite hills. Some are 30+ years old.
Elephants love to stomp and destroy and then feed off of the nutrients. |
 |
| Lizard found on bush walk. Not sure of the type. |
2 PM and lunch is served. Small individual cup with ground beef and a topping (similar to shepherds pie). Side is beet root in phyllo dough. All too heavy for what my stomach is up to. I ask Tomsa for some cheese and enjoy the cheddar with crackers I have brought from home.
