Our second full day of safari. We got lucky that the rain stopped overnight but this meant a lot of dirt roads may be in too poor condition for our low-clearance 2-wheel drive sedan to handle.... Either way, we got up early and hit the road. The weather still didn't look great and it was supposed to rain so we will try to maximize the amount of time we had. Pretty much same as yesterday, drove up and down the roads. Did have to cross some big mud puddles where things got a little dicey but made it through them successfully. Rain started around 1PM and let up a bit by the time we got to our camp in Letaba so we thought we were in the clear. This camp was neat since it had a lot of wildlife in the camp including monkeys and bucks (similar to deer). The camp also overlooks a river so we were hoping to see some wildlife but nothing super impressive. it's amazing how fast animal spottings soon become routine and it becomes almost like a checklist trying to cross off each animal you have seen. Ex: the impala, very boring. We had signed up for a night drive again but as it started raining again, we decided to cancel. The park will supposedly give us a refund but I doubt that will happen.
us outside of our car and our bungalow. Doesn't look like much outside but inside is all tiled, with our private bathroom. Also had air-conditioning though we didn't need it.
Frog along bathroom wall. Almost looks like one of the Amazon poison dart frogs, needless to say i didn't touch it.
The two of us outside Olifant outlook.
Our first sighting of a crocodile on the Letaba river bank. Unfortunately rather far away.
Family of velvet monkeys that were hanging out in our camp. Very naughty monkeys, they knew how to open cabinets to steal people's food.
A small herd of zebras.
Baby monkeys!
A reedbuck. Very common in our Letaba camp. Basically looks like equivalent of Bambi.
