Our flight home leaves around midnight, so we can take it easy. We walk along the river in the gorge, which yields many new bird species. We go through an animal camp/gas station where we see a number of well-known animals, but also antelopes that we have not seen before. But with some Googling we found that the park is to attract people to their restaurant. New species, but the antelopes belong in northern (warmer) regions.
In the last light we check in for our peaceful flight home.
