On the return journey we saw several groups of elephants, some sleeping lions with cubs hiding in the reeds, as well as warthogs, topi, hartebeest, impala Thompson's gazelle and lots of guinea fowl. Also photographed waterbuck. Benedict had baked a cake for our dinner. "Night-night and don't let the lions bite". Heard a hyena, jackal, zebra and lion during the night.
Fri 15th: Set off at 6:15 and first saw a cheetah with two well grown cubs, incredibly well camouflaged in the dry grass. They set off in the direction of a group of Thompson's gazelles but did not seem interested in hunting.
We passed a line of zebras that looked superb in the early morning sunshine. Then saw three lions that were initially a long way apart. We watched them meet up and greet each other.
