Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 3

Once again the action started early, this time with a big male elephant walking through the camp during breakfast.  Four lions were found quite early on in the day, finishing up the last of an unlucky red lechwe, giving the large herd of buffalo another days rest.  A pair of highly endangered wattled cranes gave us a brief sighting, before our afternoon boat expedition.  Lots of elephants, hippos, red lechwe, birds and a massive crocodile kept the cameras clicking all afternoon.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Large male elephant
  • 4 lions
  • Large herd of buffalo
  • Hippos
  • Wattled cranes
  • Crocodile
  • Many different species of birds

The Great Migration Safari 2013: Day 10 with Amboseli add-on

What a way to end such a great safari!  Most of our morning was spent with a herd of around 100 elephants, going about their business and providing us with unbelievable photographic opportunities.  Leaving the elephants and heading back to the camp, there was one last surprise waiting for us – a pride of 4 lionesses with 7 cubs had just killed a wildebeest at the edge of a waterhole, and were busy feeding.

Major sightings of the day:

  • A herd of ±100 elephants
  • Giraffe
  • 3 verreauxs eagle owls
  • Lanner falcon
  • Fringe eared oryx
  • Good plains game
  • 4 lionesses and 7 cubs on a wildebeest kill
