Houseboat, Chobe. Feb 2014

Balance of 9/2 consisted of a lovely game drive down river.



Giant Kingfisher


Woodlands Kingfisher


Greenback Heron


Very muddy buff


Squaco Heron









10/2/14
Started raining about 2 this morning and carried on for about 3 hours.
Had a late morning game drive in very overcast weather.
Watched this kingfisher bashing his fish and eventually consuming it, followed by a drink of water






Bird fishing obviously good this morning. Fish eagle with morsel of barbel pilfered from a croc kill



Much to Jenny's chagrin, this hippo did not pose prettily on the bank but rather charged into the water and continued his charge towards us









Back on houseboat to retrace our path back to Elephant's Bay.
Have I mentioned the magnificent meals Vincent is concocting in his kitchen. He's a marvel.
Guys went out to try their luck at fishing



Report back later - no fish to be caught.
I went out solo with our wonderfully patient & informative guide, Raymond.


Had some close sightings






Returned in time for a gloomy but beautiful sunset.
