We continued driving South along the S56 seeing a good variety of species and spectacular views of the riverbed.

A Bennett's Woodpecker was busy preening on an overhanging branch.

Whilst a lone Giraffe watched us closely as we passed by.

An Elephant bull was enjoying feeding on some grass. He hardly moved a muscle as we watched him for a while before continuing on.

A young Baboon hitched a ride on his mothers back.

And eventually we arrived at the high level bridge near Shingwedzi where a herd of Elephants were enjoying the water.

On the South side of the bridge, the big tusker Mavatsani was chilling out.

And the view from here was as glorious as it always is.

Beautiful landscapes - and that includes the ones with the ellies in there.

The woodpecker is fantastic, too.
