Rejoice in the fact that they were outside and actually saw something. Most people are so preoccupied with the nonsense on their phones, they would miss a herd of elephants if it passed them by. These are the same people who looked stunned when they mindlessly walk of the kerb and see traffic bearing down on them. Rant over. Welcome back anytime :)

Thanks Neil. Still missing the beautiful country. What was surprising is that out of the 30 tourists that was in our tour, I was the only one who saw these. The others were literally blind to birds. Their loss.They did show interest in mammals however..
