At least we didn’t get stuck last night, but again no sign of Tjololo, but did have more female leopard tracks in the south. Possibly those of Tjellers.

3 lionesses had killed a zebra, probably around midday. When we found them, they were rather weary of the vehicles. Later one did return to feed. We left so the others could feed freely. Vultures had also taken up residence in the area hoping for a nibble, but the lions were making sure they weren’t getting any of their spoils.

Early morning we had a showdown with an elephant bull. He was walking down the road towards us. Neither of us wanted to leave the road for fear of getting stuck. I slowly reversed with him following only meters away. He wasn’t going to give in and we just had to keep moving back. Eventually the temptation of marula berries close to the road were too much for him to resist. Cautiously not wanting to get stuck, he step by careful step left the road enough for us to get past while he gloated himself on the berries.
