Second Birthday Diaries—Jungle Safaris

The last part of the trip that we spent at Kabini River Lodge was the opposite of the leisurely Mysore and Coorg stays. It was adrenaline rush from the word go! The resort is simple, clean, practical and strategically located. Everyone coming here has the same two-fold agenda: going for maximum jungle safaris and hoping for awesome sightings of the big cats! We realized how passionate people are about this when we got there...it’s really hard to miss and even harder not to get bitten by the safari bug! 

Tired from the road trip, we dozed off early...in anticipation of the promised ‘wake up call’ aka loud knock on the door. We woke up while it was still dark, cold and quiet. After a quick and much-needed cup of piping hot tea, we headed out to the open jeeps! We were allotted to a jeep and we got in all excited and chirpy, Aadyaa included! 

The other couple in our jeep seemed to know our guide well from previous safaris they had done with him and assured us that we were lucky to have his company for the very first trip. HIs amazing tracking skills, his understanding of animal behavior and his passion to make this a memorable experience for the passengers he was responsible for during those safaris was evident throughout. We owe part of our love for the jungles to him and his perspective that you may drive on the same jungle route a million times, but no two drives will ever be the same.

As soon as we entered the Nagarhole National Park, he heard langur calls and began tracking right away...it led to our first ever sighting of a leopard crossing the road with two little fur balls in tow. It was mesmerizing to know about how the animals give each other warning signals using peculiar sounds each time a predator is on the move through the jungle. From subsequent safaris, we have learnt that a quiet jungle means that the apex predator in that territory has its tummy full and is resting somewhere...the jungle literally comes alive as soon as the predator is on the move, whether out for a kill or not! 

Aadyaa was chirpy and babbling and while we were excited for her to experience the jungle, we still hadn’t realized that a two-year cannot possibly spot an animal amidst the thick foliage! Since it was our first safari, there was no experience to draw upon ourselves. She got bored even though we tried to show her the abundant langurs, macaques, peacocks and birds. She had been woken up early and got cranky real quick. The guide asked us to try and calm her down...but we weren’t very successful! In a normal situation, we would have probably just retreated to the room, but a jungle safari is not something you can drop mid-way and return. Thankfully, she fell asleep due to the jeep’s motion and after one assertive “shhhhhhh” from the guide :D So the rest of the safari was more of a narration that she heard from us when she grew up a little. 

Regardless, it was, and still is the best safari we’ve been on till date...with sightings of a leopard with two cubs, two sub-adult tigresses, numerous other animals and birds...and having survived a mock charge by the matriarch of a sizable elephant herd. The mock charge had us sweating and the guide and the couple laughing at our plight...we joined in and had a good laugh eventually, but not before the thought that this could be our first and last safari had crossed my mind :D 

We returned for another jungle safari that afternoon and then a boat safari the next morning! The Kabini river banks were buzzing and we saw crocodiles, elephants, otters, peacocks, wild boar, deer, sambar, gaur and even a jackal that looked rather clueless running back and forth on the same strip of land. I don’t have a list of all the birds we saw during the jungle and boat safaris, but I do wish I had maintained it. Another regret is not having had an SLR at that time so we could have captured the big cats. 

We came back to Pune after a quick stop at Bangalore to meet family, already planning about the best age to take Aadyaa back to the jungle...since though she had been on a jungle safari this time, she had missed the experience!

Take a boat safari on the Rufiji River. From the water you can see beautiful birds, but also hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes and zebras. See the hippos near your boat and photograph the crocodiles basking in the warm sun with their mouths wide open on the sand banks. Larger waterfowl scour the banks of the river for food, on the swaying reed stems hang the small round nests of the yellow weaver and in the trees on the steep walls the kingfisher is on lookout.⠀ ⠀ #boatsafari #rufiji #birding #bridwatching #selous #selousgamereserve #nyererenationalpark #tanzanianationalparks #tentedcamp #safaricamp #safarilodge #safariaccommodation #tanzania #tansania #afrika #africa #afrikareizen #afrikareisen #visittanzania #exploretanzania #southerntanzania #remotedestinations #offthebeatentrack #safari #africansafari #safarireis #safaritrip #travel #reizen #wanderlust https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGkuAGHj6E/?igshid=q45dln109qh2

Day 94 – Game drive and boat cruise

We got up relatively early for our game drive, only to find that the ‘hot’ shower was cold. We braved it and were very awake for breakfast. They were offering a full English breakfast, but J stuck with fruit and S had some baked beans, mushrooms and fruit. Dona had the full breakfast. We then headed out for our game drive at Queen Elizabeth park. The park is 1,950 square kilometres. Despite the size of the park, there are less than 150 known lions and 130 known leopards in the park. Our chances of seeing either were not great. Interestingly, the park extends into the DRC. However, unlike humans, the animals can cross between the two without a visa or a negative PCR test.

After we arrived at the park checkpoint, we were encouraged to bring one of the park rangers with us on our game drive as a guide. As we were told you cannot go off road in the park, we were concerned that we wouldn’t see very much. We were pleasantly surprised. J’s biggest goal was to see a leopard. We got to see one up close in the daylight, drinking from a pond and taking refuge from the heat in the shade. The ranger even let us go offroad so S might be able to see it. She loaned him her binoculars and he thinks he spotted it.

We saw some new animals we had not previously seen, including a forest buffalo, marshal eagle and a proper viewing of the Ugandan kobs. We also saw a couple of other cool things, including a massive herd of over 200 cape and forest buffalo, which were apparently interbreeding, a herd of Ugandan kobs leaping across the grassland, and a family of warthogs with tiny babies which the guide estimated to be a month old. We also got to get out of the vehicle to go up to the edge of a lake, where there were two schools of hippos. We were within 10 metres of the hippos but were not in danger as they don’t like to get out of the water during the day. We also saw a lot of waterbucks. We’d seen the occasional waterbuck in Kenya, but not this many. Apparently the waterbuck has a gland which secretes a nasty tasting substance into the waterbuck’s flesh when they are threatened, so the cats don’t like to eat them. The lions here prefer the Ugandan kobs and warthogs.

After the game drive, we returned to the lodge for lunch. On the way back to the lodge, Dona stopped by another roadside stall so J could taste some freshly roasted plantain. The plantain was hot and the outer skin of the plantain had crisped up nicely over the fire.

After lunch, we headed back out for a boat trip on the Kazinga channel, which connects Lake George to Lake Edward. The wildlife along the lake was amazing. We saw a number of new animals and birds, including a monitor lizard, crocodiles, sea eagle, long-tailed cormorant, hamerkop, great pelican, great egret, palm-nut vulture, kingfisher, black-winged stilt, sandpiper and a black-crowned night heron. There were many others, but we can’t remember their names. Apparently Uganda is home to 620 species of birds. We saw elephants bathing, eating and drinking in the water. At one point they started to trumpet and make other menacing noises to scare us off. The nearby school of hippos was none to pleased and they also moved on, grunting and snorting along the way. The amount of animal noises was impressive. We also got to see a very rare albino hippo. The albino hippo has pink skin which is extremely sensitive to the sunlight and they almost never come out of the water during the day. Once the ride was over, we met Dona and J noticed a massive marabou stork sitting on top of the building next to us. J got to see it up close before it flew off. It is a massive bird and a very strange-looking creature. We went back to the lodge to relax while Dona went to look for a new air conditioning fan belt. Apparently the mechanic who came to fix it while we were on our boat trip brought the wrong belt.

We headed back to Mazike for dinner. Dinner was a roast chicken leg for J and a vegetable rice dish for S. We sat by the fireplace for a while and then headed off to bed.
