Keep an eye out for giraffes browsing among the trees, zebra in the open and elephants moving between feeding areas. Return to Ivory Lodge for a midday break.

Set out again in the late afternoon, when the air begins to cool. Your guide may visit waterholes where elephants and buffalo sometimes gather toward sunset. Watch the changing light over the bush before returning to the lodge for the evening.
