Africa Wild

Your answer is correct, though, Dewi!

No water in the last pic, just sand!

And thanks for your great effort!

Awesome to spot three of the big five withing only minutes, Richprins

Aha...I thought the same thing..no water!

Right!

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







Shortly, a beautiful and just sighting...baboon with something special behind!


















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


However the baboon typically had no respect!



















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





















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

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... "





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

















And it game gloser and gloser!

















One of aat's buddies!






















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! "

And he left us alone...phew!















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

When I crawl out under the dashboard....

I would guess : Lamont waterhole.

The ellie ? Not sure, I didn't look.

Gloser & gloser??????

You are getting as bad as I am teach.

The ellie is Mavatsani, I met him recently.

Gloser is an inside joke from SPf days...can't remember!

I'll believe you......just barely.

Great pics of Mavatsani at Lamont windmill & waterhole by the way.

Amoli was spot on with the location.

What a fantastic sighting of Mavatsani - and great pics also.

Great sighting!
