On this evening drive we saw two black rhinos, several dozen zebra and blue welderbeast, wart hogs and various types of antelope.

As it got darker I stood on the side of the jeep with a high powered lamp seeking out animals in the bush. Countless eyes, bright as stars looked back from hill tops and amidst the trees. We encountered a rare species of bird and a chamelion, both of which we were very lucky to find.

It was a kind of childhood dream to be hanging off the jeep in deepest, darkest Africa :)
