This is the final instalment of the lion/buffalo kill. What I was able to film took about 20minutes of which you have seen about 12min in the last few days.
Well the conditions today at least didn’t get any worse. But they didn’t get any better either. Although the rains fell all day, they weren’t as heavy as yesterday.

The weather forecast still doesn’t look very hopeful for the next couple of days. This weather we’re having is very reminiscent of the floods of 2000 when a cyclone nearly washed away our camp. But at least now the rains aren’t as intense.

I ventured out with my daughters in the gentle drizzle, which was fine for the first hour but then as it came down harder became really miserable.
The lions had been feeding on the buffalo kill again in the night but weren’t around in the day. And another day with no vultures. Lucky lions.

The elephants have moved back into the sandveld where they seem to be spending a lot of time digging out tubers.
And the roads are still waterways.









Howzit Kim,
What a boytjie. Really great stuff. Keep up the brilliant work.
Chatted to Andre van der Kolk the other day - all is going well with him
All the best for Christmas & the new year
Best regards
Mike Elliott
Relieved to see the Buffalo finally succumbed. What an ordeal It must be very tempting to put a bullet through his brain to end his suffering - but I know that transgresses rule No.1 of the wildlife photographer.
Happy Christmas to yourself and the rest of the Wolhuter clan.
Roy
Mike: Thanks man. Get Van Der Kolk to get in touch!
Roy: Hey Roy hope the Cuckows have a wild happy Christmas too! Thanks and all the best. Kim
