Some photos of the safari in Mole National Park

A view of part of the Mole National Park compound.  Through the gate are overnight accommodations (not mine).

This block is where I slept.  Each opening is a room with three beds and a bathroom.  I realized I never took a photo inside, but there was not a lot of time.  

The only source of running water is if they keep these tanks full.  They didn't.  There are tanks associated with every building and they fill them once or twice a day.  When you run out in your bathroom, you use a bucket of water to dump over your head or to flush the toilet, your choice!

Our vehicle for the safari.  Eight people could ride on top. Great views

Another Range Rover ahead of us in search of animals.  The road was washed in places and filled in with rocks.  Made the Range Rover rock from side to side at times.

I actually saw this guy on the compound before the safari started, as you can tell from the power lines and towers.  He was about 500 feet from my room.  The guide told us he is about 60 years old and the reason he has a shorter tusk is that they break off as they get older.

As you can see my 300 mm camera lens worked great!

Later on the safari we saw these two at a water hole.  The one closest is older, closer to 70 and has lost both tusks.  We were told we would only see males.  The females and young are deep in the park.

A wart hog in the compound.  They were plentiful

This monkey was right out back of my room.  I suspect it is a mother and baby.  This was as close as she let me get.

Lots of antelope of various types

The guide called this a kingfisher

These are also plentiful, and not just at Mole.  I have seen variations in every place we have been.
