Set off on a medium length walk at 7.15 am – it was already
really warm. The walk took about 3 hours
with an armed ranger but we saw very little wildlife except a bushbuck and a
few crocodiles and even they were hiding under water due to the intense
heat. Got back to the lodge for an ice
cold drink and promptly both fell asleep for half an hour – it was 33.5 degrees
in the shade and even the guys working at the lodge were complaining. Apparently October is always extremely hot as
it build up to the start of the rainy season.
Cooked an early tea – another variation of butternut squash
/ mushroom curry which turned out to be the best yet. At dusk a group of elephants appeared up
river so we stood and watched from the bar.
We were told by the lodge owner that only 10-15% of guests get to see
the elephants so we felt very privileged.
