Will stay another night. The only hard part is getting over the heat of the 11am to 3pm slump.
The bottles that make up the windows in the ablutions are effective. One of the horizontal ones in the toilet has an ant colony industriously working away. Makes one think of the ant farms we saw as children.
Morning visitor confirmed as elephant.
Found "roosting" place of one or two bush babies. Photo of ear!!!!
The afternoon boat cruise was incredible. Travelling along elephant corridors with towering reeds on either side. Up close and personal with elephants and hippos on their turf.
Saw lechwe for the first time.
Got delayed by angry bull hippos blocking our path on return trip. We ended up navigating the channels and corridors by moonlight. What a rush. Take my hat off to Dan - he knows these waters well.
After showering and eating, we joined Dan and his cronies round their camp fire. Talk about United Nations: Scottish, English, German, South African & Portuguese all united in their love of the bush. (And a quiet drink or two!)
