Sadly the whole day was just focused around the walking safari where we saw giraffes, buffalos and warthogs. Once we reached the national park, we had lunch which was included in the package. Then we started the walking safari which took 1.5 hours. Once this was finished we headed out of the park - here the guide was trying to spot and show any animals on the route. We were a small group so had a car instead of a safari jeep and sadly one of the back seat windows…”
