Spectacular outing today! Thirteen of us loaded into a mini-bus at 6AM for the two hour drive to Pilanesberg National Park. As we ate our breakfast of grilled cheese sandwiches, sausage links, and pears, we dreamed of the wildlife we’d come upon in the reserve. The circular layout of the Pilanesberg can be traced to prehistoric times when a volcano erupted and the mounds of cooled lava evolved into little hills. We spotted fish eagle, waterbuck, zebras with babies, impalas. blue wildebeest, an ostrich, a warthog, several hippopotamus heads (couldn't get them to come up out of the water), giraffes with babies, endangered steenbok, white rhinoceros, a black backed jackal, and tsessebes (but not on a bun!) It was an awesome four hours.
