One day we got up to go to the fields. When we got to the fields, we cleared a whole field. When we finished clearing the field, Bikwagi and I left to go and see the traps. As we were walking along the main safari road, we saw a grey gazelle come out in front of us. I made a noise with my feet, but instead of going into the bush, the gazelle just followed the road.
