Exciting to see were a leopard on rocks above the roadway, six solitary White Rhinos in grasslands, nine hippos in three separate groups mostly submerged in bodies of water, giraffe, warthogs, various African birds, and herds of hartebeest, impala, kudu, reedbuck, waterbuck, blue wildebeest and zebra.
This is a Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill eating a grape.
Our most amazing encounter was with two adult and one baby elephants within 12 feet of our car grazing on trees next to the roadway. When the one female began flaring her ears back and forth we knew it was time to drive on! She immediately crossed the road behind us.
Today during Sacrament Meeting Ron and I found ourselves invited by the bishop to be impromtu speakers in place of an unarrived scheduled speaker. We began our second Family History class during Sunday School with participants representing South African ancestral tribes. Our main focus is collecting data through family interviews and oral traditions, registering class members in new.familysearch.org and inputing their family information for temple ordinances to be completed. It is awe-inspiring feeling their excitement for this important work in behalf of their deceased ancestors.
