No early morning safaris today, we went straight to the school, where we each planted a mango tree with our buddies next to the car park, which was a really great activity.

Today we woke up early again. But it was absolutely worth it, as we travelled to a nature reserve where we saw monkeys, a wild elephant, and a crocodile.
