YOLO National Park

Up at 4:30 to catch our safari tour by four by four to Yolo National Park. It seemed odd to put on sun screen when it was still dark outside. Coming home at noon was a huge relief. ( thanks goodness I only booked the half day tour). Our tour was hour after hour of jarring jostling, jumping and jiggling, all to a cacophony of banging, bumping and scrapping. No wonder the leopards remained allusive. 

We did see a jackal, lots of elephants, water buffalo, wild pigs, deer, lizards, crocodiles and monkeys. And many wonderful birds; jungle fowl, peacocks, herons, Ibis, eagles and my newest favourite the tiny green bee eater.
