13 Hakusembe nr Rundu 7/5/15

Arrived here around 11ish. Have own 'blute and view of river. Very close to floodlit jetty so Luis hopeful re tiger.
Had a couple of Amarula at the lodge pub. Pleasant surroundings.
Jetty is coolest place with breeze off River plus shade. Look onto Angolan village. Get to watch the kids bathing and other bits of village life. Young Angolan girl thin as a reed carting their water bottle to the river to fill
Took her ages to fill and light was gone by the time she battled up the incline with the full bottle.
Three different herds of cows came down to drink at similar time of day. Interesting that the herders know exactly who belongs to who. The bulls from each herd would challenge each other creating consternation amongst the herders.

Above depicts a leader challenging another bull (out of pic as in bushes). Ah, wildlife ... Rundu style!

Challenges seem to be the order of the day with this Reed cormorant challenging another

Had a surprise visitor ... startled me 'til I figured out who he was

Luis spent an unsuccessful couple of hours looking for the elusive tiger
