(And we won’t be following them for the next few days, as I have to take them back to school.)
The girls and I were out early following up on a pride of lions we’d seen briefly last night near Kwali camp. These are the youngsters and one adult female that had been part of Manyari’s pride. They killed a zebra foal in the hills in the early evening.
Their tracks headed into the hills and we heard baboons shouting frantically right there. Unfortunately we weren’t able to follow up.
Later we picked up a few elephant near the pan north east of Chivi. A young bull with a deformed front left elbow was there. I’ve seen him before and he seems to be doing just fine although the top part of the leg looks totally wasted and without muscle.
At Nduna dam we chilled out in the shade for several hours playing cards hoping the elephant herds would come for a swim.
Then back west we travelled. Spud and another big tusker were bathing and slowly wondered off to graze in the savannah of Banyini.
Back to camp for a quick snack and then filming again with the girls. This time it was horse riding and a few final wrap pieces and now we’re done. The shooting on the Series is done and in 3 months time it will all be wrapped. Stay tuned for the final dates of broadcast AND of course the Series title. (still not decided)

What a beautiful beast!
Hoping there will be more like him in the future!
Thanks Kim!
I.
What a joy to see. I pray they will be safe from poaching and live a long, long life. Look forward to the Animal Planet series. KC
I do enjoy my virtual trips to Africa every morning. They’re so inspiring. Thanks!
What a magnificent animal. Thank you Kim.
Oh my gosh that was so exciting to see. Thank you and I can’t wait to see the series.
Kim, is it my imagination or are those bulls looking at and smelling you?
I hope and pray that they’ll be able to live out their lives in peace.
I have a particular favourite from the Sheldrick orphanage. He has since become wild, but Dika is an amazing guy. As a baby he was so bereft that they thought he was mentally damaged. As a teen he came back to the orphanage to get treated for sepsis and to have a snare removed.
Has anybody else heard of Dika?
I am so blessed by these videos. Thank you so much for bringing these bits of brightnes into my life!
Have missed a few blogs recently.(shame on me!) .Great to come back to see such a mganificent beast and the rest of the videos. Looking forward to the Animal Planet series and seeing what you and the girls get up to.
