Hwange National Park was done as an excursion from Rovos Rail. It was our first safai adventure.
There are a lot more animal pictures to be seen in the Chobe Game Lodge
page.
Our Rovos Rail sendoff, and a small impromptu market on the right.
Our safari vehicles for today.
Trying to get a picture of how long our train is (it's about a mile).
Our first view of the guinea fowl that are everywhere.
An abandoned termite mound.
The male impala.
The female impala.
Our guide says, "I see an elephant," and we all shout, "Where?"
A yellow-billed hornbill.
A ranger check-in station to keep track of visitors.
Vultures circling around something.
Down at the watering hole, we find baboons...
...and elephants.
Even a few zebra.
This circular area is man-made for a solar-powered pump that helps keep the water hole going.
This is an antelope called a kudu, slightly larger than the impala.
The horns on the male...
...and the ears on the female.
The bleached bones of a large animal, probably an elephant.
The fork-tailed drongo.
We saw more zebra here than in the other park.
A lone giraffe grazing.
A small breeding herd of elephants.
Trying to get a picture of the baby.
Kimberly bought us a couple of gaiters, which helped with the dust.
They had a nice setup at the end with drinks and snacks around the campfire.
