I had just taken off and was only meters off the ground when my goggles totally fogged up. The warm moist upper air reacting with my cold goggles had them misting up. I had to take them off for a few minutes while everything adjusted to the warm upper air.
And below the mist lay thick across the bushveld, initially making ground visibility almost zero. But it didn’t last long.
Again I didn’t pick up any sign of the wild dogs. I’m beginning to wonder if they haven’t moved further a field.
I was at Hwata pan in the heat of the day where the elephant bulls were again hogging the clean water. I was there for a couple of hours and the bulls were there all that time. None of them having moved off but others came in.
Then a cow herd arrived. They came in at such pace, at first I thought they were being chased. But they were just desperate to cool off. They had no intentions of drinking and especially not waiting for the bulls to clear off.
At the hyaena den at sunset were just the 2 young cubs. They seemed a little lonely, obviously waiting for others to provide some fun. Instead they came to check out the vehicle coming right up to it. The closer they get, the cuter they get!
I left them waiting for mom.
