Before we went on the game drive my class was divided into two. The boys went to the 'snake man' and the girls to the 'bird man', and then we swapped. It was so interesting and we learnt a lot.
Jaycee our wonderful ranger, drove us around and told us all about the various game. She had such a wonderful way of explaining things.
The only disappointment of the day, was that we did not have time for a swim!
