We had an afternoon drive yesterday and were somewhat relieved when it cooled a little overnight.
We were up at 4am this morning to tackle the drive north to Satara while it was still relatively cool and were rewarded with some lovely sightings.
It is piping hot again today, but luckily there is a small swimming pool in the camp. Even though the water is almost at body temperature, a quick dip did cool us down a bit.

When it's hot in Africa and you are a giraffe, you need a really tall umbrella.
