Out of Africa.

We've spent the last three days at Pilanesberg national park. Situated in the middle of what used to be a volcano, Pilanesberg is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. We arrived there on Tuesday afternoon and set up the caravan in the camping grounds within the park boundary.

I lost count of the amount of wildlife that we saw. Fortunately Steve kept a running total.

• Elephants- 33+
• giraffe- 10+
• wildebeest- 10+
• Zebra- 10+
• Impala- too many to count but at a guess I'd say in the 60+ range.
• Hartebeast- 10+
• Kudu- 10+
• black backed Jackal- 2
• Ostrich- 2
• Springbok- 10+
• Vervet monkey- 10+
• Waterbuck- 10
• Warthog- 8
• Eland- 6
• White rhino- 7
• hippopotomus- 7

Sadly we didn't get to see any of the big cats, lions etc, but I'd much rather have not seen them in the wild than stuck behind bars in a zoo.
