Today's Notes:  We had a most enjoyable day doing our one day Safari.  The private game reserve was huge with many of Africa's animals roaming free.  We spent nearly 4 hours in the 4x4 Toyota Range Rovers going over the plains, hills and valley's of the park.  My wife Cathy found herself declaring this excursion the best so far.  In the morning when we set off on the hour and half bus ride to the park, she was not looking forward to it at all.  Riding in the 4x4's traveling the narrow roads and trails of the park, reminded us of our trip's in the Alaska wilderness on our own 4 wheeler's.  The weather conditions were prefect, in the mid 70's with overcast skies.  The overcast held at bay the sun, which when it broke was still hot at this latitude.  We had many close encounters with the animals in the park.
