Singita First Day - The Afternoon

Our passage to lunch is blocked by a nyala. We summon help to deal with its presence.

At lunch our incredible personal waitress is serving us wine while keeping the monkeys at bay with an air gun.  Gift is so much fun.
The view from our room is incredible.  Those are elephants marching across the field of view from CJ's desk.
The first thing we see on our afternoon game drive is a herd of elephants. Shortly thereafter, we're confronted by a solo huge bull elephant.  He appeared ready to charge as we pulled away from him.
We find a group of 16 lions.  At one point they get "active" and a bit scary.  One walks up to the vehicle and passes just beneath CJ.
They pay no attention to us after that and eventually fall into a mob of sleeping lion.

The final encounter of the evening is three white rhino.
Back at the lodge, we have a private wine tasting in their incredible wine cellar prior to dinner.
