Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 3

Once again the action started early, this time with a big male elephant walking through the camp during breakfast. Four lions were found quite early on in the day, finishing up the last of an unlucky red lechwe, giving the large herd of buffalo another days rest. A pair of highly endangered wattled cranes gave us a brief sighting, before our afternoon boat expedition. Lots of elephants, hippos, red lechwe, birds and a massive crocodile kept the cameras clicking all afternoon.

Major sightings of the day:

Large male elephant
4 lions
Large herd of buffalo
Hippos
Wattled cranes
Crocodile
Many different species of birds

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

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.
