As the day cools down, on your afternoon safari drive you will see the inhabitants of the bush venturing out from the shade of the trees in search water. Watch in awe as the sky changes to vibrant reds, golds and oranges, typical of an African sunset, majestically reflecting off rivers, natural waterholes and meandering streams.
