Shortly after this amazing safari experience we got to see a difference kind of wildlife and spotted a Leopard tortoise which was drinking water in the rain next to the road. It was very interesting as he would drink and then squirt water/mud back out its nose. I can only guest this was to get some of the mud out of the water!
