VegetationThere were very little plants still in blossom by the end of October as we went through the transition between spring and early summer. Most woody plants had already started to grow their new leaves for the season, bringing welcome relief to all browsing herbivores. The new foliage not only provided a renewed food source for browsers, but also shelter against the scorching October sun as well. During midday everything from guinea fowl to elephants could be seen taking shelter under especially the bigger tree species like camel thorn acacias, knob thorn trees and along the river Natal mahogany trees. |
