We were woken by someone sweeping outside and knocking onto our wall. I think this is how they make sure we don't stay too late. It was about 6.15. Our "guide" left at 6.30 with the other guests and we enjoyed the early morning at the lake. A croc was hanging around. George didn't have breakfast (we had pho, the noodle soup with an egg) but walked back with us.
He is a dermatologist with four children and he spoke of his wife so I'm not sure if she passed away or just didn't feel like traveling. They met in Johannesburg many years ago and traveled through Africa. His one daughter lives with her family, north of Minnesota, where after a long drive, you have to walk 45 mins to get to their house. She will home school her 3 children. Very cool.
Anyway, we saw a few monkeys, then on the cycle home George saw a would pig cross the road which I missed, but we heard it having a big fight with another pig. Perhaps they disagreed on the fastest route out.
The animals in this park are all too scared. Pigs, monkeys etc. Our guide saw evidence of traps. Only tourists and rangers are here!
We spent the afternoon just relaxing. I fell into a deep sleep, read a while and we shared a bottle of Diemersdal I've nursed since Cape Town.
We are now having dinner at the lodge.

I noticed my first leech bite. Not sure when our how it came off, but it bled for ages!
