Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 1

We got off to a great start with a pride of 6 lions feeding on a large buffalo.  Things picked up even more when a herd of elephants walked into the background.  Several more herds of elephants also graced us with their presence, most notably one herd just as the sun was setting, giving us some great silhouette shots.  To top off our first afternoon, a small family of 3 bat-eared foxes found their way in front of our lenses.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Several herds of elephants
  • 3 Bat-eared foxes
  • 6 lions on a buffalo kill
  • African rock python

The Great Migration Safari 2013: Day 5

Fantastic interaction between 2 male lions, 3 large bull buffalo and 5 hyaena kept us busy for most of the morning as they squabbled over the rights to a zebra kill.  The single lioness with the 3 small cubs showed herself again as well as a pride of 16 lions later in the afternoon.  2 more lionesses with a wildebeest kill, a hyaena with 4 youngsters and a very obliging black rhino finished off our day just in time to get back to camp before a spectacular African storm rolled in.

Major sightings of the day:

  • 2 male lions on a zebra kill
  • 3 male buffaloes chasing the lions off their kill
  • 5 hyeana stealing the zebra kill
  • Lioness and 3 month old cubs
  • Many herds of elephants
  • Pride of 16 lions
  • A hippo with a new born calf
  • 2 lionesses with a wildebeest kill
  • Hyeana at a den site with 4 cubs
  • Black rhino
