Retracing our steps...

Day three of our safari adventure, May 28, dawned cloudy and cold.  We could see that clearing would come once the sun was fully up, and we continued our adventure in high spirits, hoping this would be the day we would complete our list of animals we most wanted to see.

Among other animals, we were hoping to view all of the Big Five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard.  These animals were originally chosen for their difficulty to hunt, and the quest continues today as people on safari continue the tradition, primarily for photographs.  While lion, buffalo and elephant are plentiful and easily seen, the leopard and black rhino are very difficult to spot, and we were not at all assured of a sighting.
