Big Five - tick!
The last day of the year. I intended to make the most of it! Opening the tent door in the morning, to the left, a view across the crater. To the right, the sunrise over trees and hills.

We also saw a leopard eel with black spots on bleach white skin. It really stood out amid the corral but somehow must seem to blend to the neighbourhood fishes.
