It is barely 7am and everyone is awake
Poor kids, they will have back pain sooner than others
Dugout canoe to cross the river

Jeep drive is the fastest way to visit wide area of the park

Wrong camera setting, feel like night time
The jeep safari is 4 hours drive
Covering 45 km in the park passing all types of vegetation and wildlife habitats
What is this?
A temporary toilet in the middle of the park
Peacock running away from the road
One horned rhinoceros
This is our closest rhino encounter

End of jeep safari
Crossing the river again
Bathed by the elepant
Bathing the elepant
Noon activity is elephant bath
They do not treat the elepants very nice here

Feeling total safe around Mathew

Elephant is the safest and most convenient way to get around in the jungle and observe the wild life

Elephant hair
The elephant ride lasted about 2 hours
Pooing along the way
So shaky on the elepant, difficult to get a stable shot
Sunset so pretty
How come no animals drinking water at the river?
Drinking time for the elephant
