Ken cannot post pictures from here. Mala Mala has better internet and we go there tomorrow.

Today we went to a different area and it was beautiful. Down the river with boulders and huge trees. There was a giraffe right next to the vehicle that just stood and posed he was huge and very close. We also saw the same group of giraffes we saw in the river.

Vultures were amazing today. Must have been over 50 of them and all types. There was a dead Impala but we could not see them on the kill on the ground. But this many vultures flying and in the trees is really a special sight. May not sound good to those who have not been on safari I know but we loved it.

Then we were really close to mother and baby elephant eating and watched them for quite a while. Then back to the dogs. Unfortunately we missed feeding and playtime. The puppies were all on top of each other sound asleep. One puppy was constantly trying to get the others up but to no avail.

In the evening we had a joint sundowners on a ridge over a dry river bed. As we drove up we saw an elephant a little down the ridge. The ranger told us to stay in the vehicle but looked at the elephant and told us to get out. We walked across the ridge and we were probably only 20 yards from the elephant. The ranger kept talking in a low tone and explained the elephant was aware of us but that same tone of talking calmed them. I have seen that done by rangers before. That was amazing.

So we walked into that Cape Buffalo yesterday and now the elephant on foot. The group yesterday did the rhino tracking and were close to the rhino on foot . On the fishing trip at Kwandwe the lions were just across the river while they were fishing on foot. Also when the others arrived at the sundowner tonight's they told us they had walked up to rhinos out of the water. Never had this much on foot interaction with animals with all the previous safaris we have done.

Been great game here and I will never forget those wild dog puppies . However it is time to move on and I am really looking forward to going back to Mala Mala.
