We may be seeing along the way the wild animals, mostly herbivores grazing along the way. Elephants, Zebras, and Giraffes, Monkeys, Antelopes and Warthogs are common. Browsing Giraffes are also hard to miss amongst the tall trees. With a keen eye we may be seeing different bird species on the forest canopy. We will hike for 4-6 hours before reaching the first camp site where will rest and have our dinner.
