Since it's a holiday today we decided to go to the Gaborone Game Reserve. It's a 5 square Kilometer game park located inside the city limits. It took less than 10 minutes to get there including a stop to pick up one of Dillon's friends. We were very impressed at the variety and number of animals and birds we were able to see.
The coolest thing we saw had to be this 3.5 foot long monitor lizard eating eggs out of this underground burrow. When we first came upon this big guy all we could see of him was the end of his tail poking out of the hole. We thought it was a snake until he backed out of the hole with this egg in his mouth. We watched him swallow 2 of these big eggs whole. It was impressive to say the least.
