January 7, 2012 Zambia Croc Valley Lodge/Safari

After waking up and having breakfast, we loaded up for our morning tour. The trucks would seat 9 people comfortably, so we drove two. Depending on the time of day it was possible to see cats, but unfortunately that morning we didn't see any. On the contrary, we were grateful to see elephants, giraffes and wild hogs. After a four hour morning adventure, we made our way back to home-base. After enjoying a nutritious lunch we were able to kick back and relax. That evening we went out on out second drive and we saw a leopard upon entry to the National Park. The excitement was electrifying in the truck with a wild cat in our presence. There after, we were rewarded with the sight of lions, water bucks and multiple other animals. Driving back to the camp in the dark was a bit frightening because you are unaware of your surroundings. Once we were back in the camp from the night drive, we spent the night discussing our experiences thus far in Africa.
