Mole National Park










We stayed here in extreme comfort at Mole Motel - built on the top of an escarpment that overlooks a waterhole. An elephant was having a bath when we arrived... We went on safari by jeep and on foot and saw more elephants, baboons,monkeys and antelope. Not to mention the warthogs that wandered round the motel! Sam is standing in an elephant's footprint. Enlarge the view point photo to see (part of) an elephant in the water... Slightly disconcerting that the guide always carried a rifle "to save our lives" as he engagingly put it. He said he had fired in the air on a few occasions to deter annoyed wildlife.
