South Africa - Early morning ride - Madikwe

 
























We had a few less participants for our early morning ride.  And started off a bit later as well.  

Started off with a hyena and finished with a pair of cheetahs and a pride of lions - 2 mothers and 5 youngsters.  And plenty more in between.  

We were in very bushy and hilly land in the evening and vast prairie in the morning.  A bit easier to see and get a few pics in the AM.  

And then back to Gaborone for an Indian dinner.  

 

South Africa - First ride in to the park - Madikwe



























 

We saw animals everywhere as we got moving on our first ride of the trip.  Had a great sunset happy hour - highlight was turning over rocks looking for bugs.  Finished off the trip as it was getting dark with one of the two male lions in the park.
