Had to leave our chalet for one night (tonight) as it was pre-booked by someone else. Bit of a pain. Threw most of the stuff into Brutus last night. Left the kitchen boxes and fridge stuff for staff to move. We went off to Chobe. Nice sighting of sable, puku, fish eagle and assorted water birds. Quite pleasant.
Back to camp & into our one nighter! Not pleasant - loft bedroom with access via ladder - will need to watch alcohol consumption, that's for sure! Really glad it's only one night. Pray I don't need the loo during the night. Actually, this could be the night we (I) sit up all night to observe the beasties.
Ellie's entertained us all afternoon. Lilac Breasted Roller encouraged us to experiment with bird in flight shots.
Luis & I sat around the fire enjoying the night noises. Next thing, 10 feet away from us, is a mother elephant and her young calf. She heard us talking, swung around and stared at us. I'm frantically telling Luis to sit still and keep quiet. She continued staring for 5 tension charged minutes then moved off. My relief was short lived though as Luis started talking again! She swung around and glared for another 5 minutes before really moving off. Wow, adrenalin rush of note!!!!!!
