An Afternoon Hike

 This afternoon we went on a hike from our lodge down to lake Burunge to explore local plants and wild life. No steel horse this time. Along the way we saw a number of tracks, skat, and learned about native trees. Once on shore we were presented with some beautiful views of this large inland lake.

...and came across some new tracks.

There are two known Hippos that inhabit this lake, and the lake is big, so we were lucky to even see evidence like this...

Upon further inspection of our view, we saw this off shore.

And a third hippo.

On our return trip, we came across a group of about five zebra ON our path. After frightening most of them away with our conversation, I got this shot.

Now I know at least a few of the things outside our tent. Thank goodness for shelter.
