Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 9

Leopards ruled the day, in particular, a female leopard who was working her way slowly through a baby tsessebe kill.  She was up and down different trees, giving us great opportunities to photograph her.  We also got to spend around 2 hours with 3 large male lions, who were on the move.  In between all the cat action, we saw elephants numbering in the hundreds!  Good bird sightings as well as great general game rounded off a fantastic day.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Female leopard in tree with kill
  • 3 male lions
  • Hundreds of elephants
  • Good general game
  • Female leopard

Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 2

Lions in the camp is never a bad way to start a day!  A pride of 4 lions sauntered through the camp just before the early morning wake-up call, which we quickly proceeded to follow for the rest of the morning.  They were making their way in the general direction of the large herd of buffalo, but with no real intent.  Along the way, we encountered many herds of elephants, a side-striped jackal den site, and a magnificent lightning show!

Major sightings of the day:

  • 4 lions
  • Large herd of buffalo
  • Several herds of elephants
  • Side-striped jackal den site with 2 pups
  • Massive lightning show
