I should be out on a drive, but I looked at the day at 04:45 and decided that being cold and wet for several hours wasn't why I came to Africa, so I made some tea and went back to bed.


It is still distinctly chilly, overcast and windy and I suspect that this afternoon's drive won't yield too many animals unless it clears up - which at the moment does not look likely.


In the meantime we have been chased by large, grey animals: the young bull elephant has taken against our truck. Graeme is promising to 'sort him out': those are trainers I would not like to be in. But he knows what he's doing and I don't.


I move to a different reserve on Monday, which should prove interesting. It is bigger and, unlike Zimanga which is privately owned, a government reserve. This means tourists whom we don't really have here.
