Now that we're way beyond the Five and only black rhino short of the 'full house' all the other animals take on even greater appeal. It's hard to believe that this hyena is more closely related to the cute little mongoose below than it is to the dogs. The reason is far too intimate to go into but suffice to say you need to be a bit anal to be interested. (Look it up and don't blame me if it's wrong: I'm only saying what our ranger said.)
Ain't he cute?
Though we've seen a fair few elephants, having one close enough to touch - literally - was wonderful. This picture is with no zoom at all. In fact I didn't have a wide enough lens.
After our drive this morning we walked for an hour back to the lodge, escorted by our guide with loaded rifle.
We have two more drives to go and surely it can only be 'top ups'.
