Day 4, Sunday 1.8.17, Port Elizabeth; Pumba Private Game Reserve

Buy a Donkey! -This is how you say Thank you! in Africaans. 

Today we took an authentic Game Drive with a guide in a 4x4 for two hours in the Pumba Game Reserve.  It was far more exciting and fun than we had anticipated.  

Our guide, Thomas, was so knowledgeable and led us to sighting after sighting of the many different species on the Reserve.

 I had an AMAZING time photographing them. Many came within 20 meters of our 4x4! So close. These photos are all from my phone though, as the big boys are still uploading as I type now.  Other than the elephants shot at bottom here-which is shot off my laptop screen during editing.  Our favorites were the elephants, giraffes, and, the warthogs.  :)

This was a fantastic day, small soft clouds dotting the clear blue skies, 77 degrees in the shade of the covered 4x4.  The catered lunch was amazing, with complimentary South African beers and wines, and monkeys hovering about in the trees over our heads while we ate!

One of our lunch nooks.  This place was beautiful, exotic, African ambience!

See the monkey in the tree above her head??

I am SO EXCITED about these photographs with my DSLR!  Have to put lots of time into editing, will have to share the finished series some other time, other way.
