The girls braved the early morning with me but by 9am temperatures were getting out of hand and I dropped them off at camp while I continued following after the elephant.

The herd were continuously on the move along the Nyamsaan river. In this area the grass is already taller than other areas and it’s keeping the elephants patrolling the river system.
With abundant water to cool off in regularly and grazing available at every step, the herds are having it really good.
Just as the herd left a wallow, a lone white rhino bull moved it to take their place. Knowing I’d disturb him if I started up the car, I stalked up close to the opposite side of the pan and was able to film the dude resting in the mud.

The buffalo too are making the most of the flush of green grass, although this dude looks more interested in eating me.

I also had the lions again at sunset close to where they were yesterday. There were only 2 lionesses and both were well fed, so I let them be.
