Coffee a sausage tree and a Bee eater

We stop for coffee & muffins under a sausage tree, The “sausages” are huge fruits. I am not sure if they look like giants poo’s (bit of theme going on here) or giant willies. One thing is for sure they do not look like sausages. The Maasai make beer from them, cut one in half, they are huge. Leave it in water for a week then add honey. They say it is very nice and you only can have one glass as after 2 you are unable to stand up. Fortunately there was none in the picnic hamper for us to try. Up in the sausage tree there are lots of sunbirds and brown parrots. They are drinking the nectar from the big red flowers. A small Bee eater lands nearby. In the distance we can see a secretary bird, giraffe, elephant and wildebeests. I forgot to say we are out of the jeep, walking around, taking photos and drinking coffee. I thought that was forbidden?
