Some days it was warm, some chilly, but it didn't matter because the temperature was all over the place all day long... they weren't kidding when they told us that you could experience 4 seasons in one day... One day it was raining a little and we went out wearing poncho's! It was a bit too cold that day, but we toughed it out.
Now for some pictures to help walk you through the best adventure ever!

| Momma Leopard licking her lips while being about 20+ feet away from our truck |
 |
| big ass land snail near our tent |
 |
| Momma Leopard's son who was across the street from her at the time ~ we got to hear it growl and it was AMAZING! |
 |
| Black Rhino, we had to do some off roading to get near this guy ~ it was huge! They are on the brink of extinction mostly due to a silly rumor that their powdered horns could cure cancer and that it is an aphrodisiac... There is no medical proof of either as of today. It is illegal to poach this big guy. |
 |
| A hundred or so buffalo just hanging out in the bush on a warm and sunny South African day... notice the red beaked birds on the buffalo? They eat ticks and other parasites off the buffalo to prevent disease... pretty gross, but needed... |

| Our first elephant sighting in the bush!! They were gathering up for a dust bath...Very cool! |

| I'm pretty sure that I'll never get to see a 1 year old "baby" white rhino nursing again! So incredible! What a treat! |
