Got up at 4:30 am to get ready for the morning safari at 5:15 am.
A very pleasant surprise in the form of a Happy Birthday text send at midnight local time. I think I totally confused and worried him by acknowledging that early.
Left for the safari with a smaller group of 10 and a much more friendly and personable guide Puran.
The highlight of the morning for me was two male gaurs showing of by much bellowing and taking fighting positions.
We saw a herd of elephants from really close along with others that were a little further away.
A peacock with it's tail feathers displayed in its full glory showed of for us or atleast that's what we would like to think.
Came back for a full breakfast and then lunch around 2:00 PM.
We saw less animals in the afternoon safari but more birds. Amazingly the birds were on lower branches and close enough for for me to see them clearly.
My highlight on the evening safari was a pair of woodpeckers building a nest. One was doing all the work and pecking at its mate if it came close.
Came back had tea and snacks and then dinner and to bed tired and happy.
Two gaurs -- that's a lot of muscle!
