Drove along the Burungi Lake circuit
but very little wildlife except a few dik dik and swarms of tetse flies so
headed north back to the main gate where suddenly we were engulfed by safari
tour vehicles. The highlight of the
morning was a tree full of vultures.
Headed back to our campsite for the night – it was a cleared area in
amongst some trees 4km off the main track.
As soon as we arrived we saw a herd of elephants just outside the camp
area, but we unpacked, put up the tent and started preparing dinner. Just as we were getting ready to eat, another
herd of elephants decided to come right into camp and we were forced to sit in
the landrover to wait for them to move on which turned out to be an hour and a
half later with the sun about to set. We
were privileged to watch 3 very young baby elephants playing right in front of
us, however, eating dinner in the dark on our first night camping “wild” and “unfenced”
had not been part of the plan.
