Bhaaaaaa!!! Pshhhhhhhh…..!!! Another one bites the dust.

Driving through that dense bush on the trail of Khayeni again and a tree stump ripped through the side of a new tyre. Nothing to do but throw it away. At least when it’s an old tyre you don’t feel so bad, but a new one!!!
And so our night went on on her trail until we just had to give it up as the bush got the better of us.
For the rest of the night Khayeni was deep in her own little jungle and out of sight. And we didn’t see her all night until briefly at dawn when she was on the move again back to her hidey hole south of Nhoro pan.
So that was a night of NOTHING!

This meant I was out all day today which proved to be a lot more successful.

This great elephant bull came sauntering in to Chekwa pan. He had such attitude. He really did own the world! But he didn’t stay long and swaggered off as if loaded with 2 six guns by his side.

Then I found this poor Immature Bateleur hanging in the Knobthorn tree. The vicious hooked thorns had obviously hooked it and there was just no getting loose. He must have died a terrible slow death.

The elephant herds were around Nduna dam and just being cool and then at sunset I had a herd of about 500 buffalo on Banyini. Something spooked them and they stampeded. WOW! What an awesome sight with the setting sun shining through all that dust as they disappeared into the mopanie.

(I’ll be away for the next couple of days as I head off to collect my daughters for their school holidays. This will be their first time to see Khayeni and they’re also keen to see how Whisky is getting on)
