Day 2 in South Africa, May 5th 2017 (early morning- & late afternoon game drive in Pilanesberg National Park)

My first early morning game drive. Woke up at 5.00 AM and after a small breakfast went down the 132 steps from the Tshukudu Lodge to the bottom of the hill where the safari vehicles were waiting for their passengers. It was still dark when we left at about 5.45 AM. We drove towards the Mankwe Dam/Hippo Loop area in the middle of the Pilanesberg National Park.

coffee break at 7.30 AM
