The day started with watching a family of bat eared foxes hunting for breakfast in the few filled morning grass. We then found our normal group of lions two adults and 5 cubs - this time we got great views of the male until he flopped in some thick grass away from all the attention. Breakfast we by the river watching village weavers. The male builds 1-4 nests and the female chooses which one she wants before setting about making the final touches. We heard ther...

The highlights were:seeing a hornbill hole, where the female had been cemented in to raise her young - I put ...

We were supposed to walk to the fly camp today but because they couldn't get a ranger we had to postpone and went later in the day instead. Instead we headed off for a game drive and went to see if we could find the dogs but as we were later out they had already moved off. Consequently we headed off to a marsh area; there were lines of wildebeest heading there for water, some were crossing it and continuing west. It was an oasis, we also saw gazelles and zebras ...
