Perchance to dream


16th February

The western range, by jeep, this morning and the central range, by elephant, this afternoon. A glorious park full of glorious wildlife but, if I’m honest, right now I could do with some glorious sleep. I’ll dream, no doubt, of the rhinos, elephants, buffalo, hog deer, swamp deer, rhesus macaques, Malayan giant squirrels and Ganges dolphins we saw today. To sleep, perchance to dream.
