Botswana, Kasane, Senyati, 14/5/13

Johan and Sonja started their long trek back home this morning. For us the adventure continues.
Weather is definitely warmer here than at any of our other previous venues. Senyati is in a valley which probably accounts for that!
Watching impala pronking as they make their way to the waterhole. Just too far for camera.
A lone Sable came to drink.



Even vultures get thirsty






A herd of 14 Sable couple of hours after the lone bull



Ellies never fail in the entertainment value!

This little fella got into a spot of bother



Mum to the rescue



The twins couldn't decide whether to play in the mud or evacuate slit was a constant get out and slide back in again







Adults had to join in the fun



Leap of faith



Placid flock of black backed stilts disturbed by a territorial plover



Herd of about 70 buffalo came to drink around 9ish. When they first made their somewhat silent appearance, we were busy trying to send an SMS to Dad. I looked up and said: "Look at all the little elephants that have just arrived" - oops .... intrepid game watchers, we are! The buff were just too far out of light range to get a pic. It would, of course, also have helped to confirm light range theory by ensuring ... golden rule number one ... make sure your sd card is inserted correctly! Anyway, we enjoyed the view.
