A few friends and I decided this Christmas that it would be better to spend our time on safari than in village.
So Christmas Eve we arrived in the big city to make a fancy dinner with stew, cheese, bread, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, egg nog and maulled wine (also known as glogg). On arrival we discovered that there wasn't transport down to Po on Christmas day (go figure... it was bad planning on our part).
So the following morning we made it down through a series of Christmas miracles. We found a car to Po and then found a 4x4 to take us on safari.
Within an hour of entering the park and before arriving at our lodging we saw mongooses, warthogs, monkeys, and elephants. Throughout the trip we saw 3 varieties of antelope, baboons, 3 varieties of monkeys, crocodiles and tons of elephants. Even on our way out we saw a group of mama elephants that were extremely close to our car. They began to get angry and made a circle around the tiny baby and one chased us off and trumpeted. It was pretty awesome. Earlier we had seen a male elephant hanging out on his own in a pond eating all the water lillies.
It was by far a better Christmas than last year. Now I can say I spent Christmas with the elephants.
