What a ride up here, could not call it a road more like a track through many villages passing many cyclists and kids herding cattle and the odd ox wagon. After about 100 km N you get to the Park whoch is across the river and that's where I saw Giraffe's ,warthog, Impala and then plenty of elephant. The remaining 70km along the park there was an actual road and a fairly good one. And then there were 4 elephant's blocking the road so I stopped , maybe 60 ft away and just waited and watched was great until oe appeared right to the left of me, I don't know who was more surprised but I did kinda shit myself. He was in muskth, and a little agitated as they are when in muskth. He gave me a little false charge and waved his ears, but not having a reverse gear , I couldn't do a thing and besides he was bluffing and eventually they all went into the bush . Five kilometers later was Wild Camp ,so I pulled in and have a spot right on the river which has a bunch of hippos in and two crocdile on the banks, so that was an awful nice welcoming. The Germans that were at my camp last night came up the same track and are with me here and now I have a nice spaghetti dinner invite.
