Friday July 16th contd
The reason for a few cars parking off at Biyamiti Weir was a bunch of hyenas on a buffalo kill
With no sign of lions around we assumed that the hyenas must have taken the buffalo down themselves. We moved down onto the weir which made for some amazing views of the hyenas and their reflections
Something startled the hyenas and they went running in all directions for a brief moment
Then the feasting continued... the crunching sounds were amazing to hear!
We drove up to the bank on the other side where people were parked, but couldn’t really see why they were stopped there as you couldn’t see down to the kill as far as we could tell. Driving back down to the weir the resident fish eagles were in view
Back on the weir the reflections were even better
One of the hyenas didn’t seem to be welcome at the kill. It kept trying to move in for some food but was chased away by others
