6 Bots/Nam Mavunje, nr Kongola 13/5/14

Hippos kerplooshing in the water right next to us, beautiful mating duet of a pair of wood owls - female slightly higher pitched than the gruff call of the male.
Actually, just found out, the hippos kerplooshing was a guy swimming in the pool. I know I get disorientated in The Rad but this is ridiculous!!!!
Was taking photos of the camp set up and came across a scantily clad Gayle.



Makoro Man



Great excitement and a lifer for me ... Half collared kingfisher



Another variety of sunbird



Rather hectic arrival at Mavunje - vans were battling to get through the narrow clearings to sites. All good in the end plus Luis and Anthony went on a panga mission and cleared the way so going out should be easier.
Lovely place.
Gayle and Anthony did a roast leg of lamb in their cob accompanied by roast potatoes, carrots, corn, rice and gravy. Mmmmmmm! Ate at the dining room table - how incongruous - middle of the bush, no electricity yet full Sunday roast style meal in awesome setting.






Hippos were really close to us - not sure who was more wary.
