A giraffe came very close to our camp after lunch.

We found some endangered wild dogs on our evening game drive. Two hyenas wandered through the dog pack and nobody seemed concerned... the dogs just continued sleeping or whatever they were doing.

On the way home we saw a hippo in the bush and puff adder.
