My class started off with a short talk on insects
and then it was off into the bush to find them ..
This proved to be a little difficult as it has been so dry but one or two children managed to find termites and even a butterfly..... which they then used to book to identify. They loved it when they found the right butterfly!
Next it was on to see the 'Snake Man'! Oh my word - what wonderful snakes. They all learnt so much - me too! They even had the opportunity to hold them. For some children this was the first time!
After that we all needed a break, so out came the picnic lunches!
Having refreshed, we were ready for the game drive.
We were very lucky in our sightings. JC, our guide, explained many interesting things. These are just a few snippets of what we saw.
 |
| A baby zebra ... we learnt that a group of zebras are called a DAZZLE |
 |
| The children were fascinated to see Miss Giraffe tongue in real life. |
 |
| For many it was the first time to see a giraffe in the wild and what better than a baby! |
 |
| We saw Zebras having sand baths ... this one had just finished! |
 |
| Blue Cranes - our national bird. |
 |
| A typical waterhole. |
 |
| We sawthree beautiful Rhino - on World Rhino Day too |
 |
| This one had had her horn poached. The story made the Rhino plight for us very real. |
 |
| Rhino Dung |
 |
| Ostrich chicks with Mum and Dad! |
 |
| A baby Hippo - not often that we see them out of the water but we did! We were all very sad to say goodbye but it had been a wonderful day. |
