Hello,

In my very limited experience, a Game Drive is certainly not a continuous stream of animal and bird sightings.  On the contrary, the day is usually a series of brief encounters.  And also, a matter of luck.  Of course, the Guide/Driver uses his knowledge of “the bush” to locate the animals.   Maybe we will see a giraffe today.  Maybe not.

Today the Main Feature is Elephants.
