Your answer is correct, though, Dewi! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

No water in the last pic, just sand!

And thanks for your great effort! =O: =O: =O:

Right!

After a quick stop at Shing...ever Northwards! Teba was still a long way! \O







Shortly, a beautiful and just sighting...baboon with something special behind! ^Q^ O/\









Image








There was a big ellie in the back, as you may see, but not the one you see! ^0^


However the baboon typically had no respect! 0*\ :-0









Image









In case I haven't mentioned it...it was HOT and dry...land of thirst, as Captain Haddock would say! lol











Image









SW has a rare self-assurance regarding the big animals as far as ladies go...don't know if that came out right... O-/

I was determined to get into the shade of the one big tree there....it is so rare to have a shade tree at a waterhole these days, and it was HOT!


SW: "Are you sure about this?"

RP: "No...err yes...they look ok..err...maybe...?"

SW "Oh just go for it... lol "






So we got closer but hid behind the tree a bit... O-/








Image








And it game gloser and gloser! :shock:








Image








One of aat's buddies! lol









Image












No problems, really....one can sort of see when they are restful, with a bit of experience...


RP: "Please...mercy! The heat...just a bit of shade, o Mighty Isis! 0: :shock: "

And he left us alone...phew!








Image






Double Q: Which waterhole is this, and which elephant? (It's on aat's website)

When I crawl out under the dashboard....

Amoli was spot on with the location. ^Q^
