We are, by nature, story-tellers. I don’t care what your chosen medium of expression is – a good chunk of people alive today want to tell their story in their own way.

I did photograph a lot, so here is a collation of some photos taken during the 2.5 days of safari there, mainly of common birds. Asian Openbill Grey Francolin – very common Great Thick-knee.
