Another beautiful sunrise, and another great day! A hyena den site was our first success of the morning, with a female and a youngster active around the den. A large herd of buffalo, many great birds (including the aways difficult to find broad-billed roller) and several herds of hippo were seen throughout the day, but there was one species that dominated – elephants! Around every turn, at every water source and at every other sighting we were at, there were herds of elephants! The day was ended by a very camera-aware leopard; she posed for us for over an hour, right up until the very last of the light.
Major sightings of the day:
- Spotted hyena and cub at their den site
- Several herds of hippos
- Over 200 elephants
- Large herd of buffalo
- Broad-billed roller
- 1 lioness
- Ground hornbills
- Leopard in a tree
