I later found out that those mines were very very dangerous. Another experience was the game drive. The owner guided us on a nature drive and hikes to look for big game as well as all the other wild life that exists. They are one of the most lethal cobras in the world and I really wanted to see one. At least I got to see some ant lions and a termite nest being invaded by a troop of safari ants.
Ant lions are small insects that create divots in the sand.
When an ant or other small insect falls in, the ant lion leaps out from under the sand at the bottom and pulls them in. The guide even showed me how ant lions will kick sand up against the sides of the divot to create a slide to bring the ant to the bottom. Insects are very clever when you really look at them closely and study their behavior. Another interesting creature is the monkey. People who don't believe in evolution should take a look at this picture I took at a zoo in Zimbabwe.
