And so they go on mating.

Sjambok’s brother joined them later in the evening looking pretty well fed, but again had to wait in the wings dreaming about getting his chance to mate again.

I was just remembering the leopard “Beauty” I’d filmed in the film “Beauty and the Beasts” and she went through 8 oestrus cycles before conceiving.
So who knows how long we’ll be waiting for Manyari to conceive. Although you’d think that mating at the tempo they do, they couldn’t do anything but conceive!

The lions again didn’t move far all night and I left them soon after dawn all splayed out on Banyini.

I took to the skies on another mission looking for wild dogs. Alas none.

The conditions were very hazy up there with the temperature inversion layer keeping in the smoke from bush fires and keeping visibility down.

General game was plentiful around Hwata pan and the Mahande River and this tree was obviously good stuff with these 4 giraffe concentrated around it.
