Off we went the next morning in the pitch dark with our driver KK at the wheel. Using a portable spotlight, Derek and Mike searched for wildlife both looking for eyes reflecting the light as well as the bulk of the animal itself. It’s quite startling to find multiple elephants staring at you in the dark as they’re feeding with their families by the side of the road. We had warthogs passing by and calm but wary Cape buffalo looking at us as we passed. As we approached the Nile, the sun rose over the Savannah behind us. Joe murmured, “Incredible”.
