Baines Camp at the pans - close to Nxai Pan fabulous campsite.

The lions were still following the herd, but had not made a kill at this stage. So all through the night they had just been letting the buffalo keep a few steps ahead and walking into the wind, the buffs still had no idea that the pride was there. The two males were missing we presumed off doing their territorial things or sleeping under a bush somewhere!

We went off to Paradise Pools to check out that area, loads of dead trees, small pools of water and just an amazing area. We saw quite alot of wildlife including hippo, impala, red lechwe, kudu and loads of birds. We started to head back to camp and were told by Brad (a friend of Clint's) that the 2 males had taken a buffalo calf at the side of the runway when the herd crossed. When we arrived they were lying down and one appeared to be sleeping whilst the other was eating - only one problem the sleeping one was obviously lying on his half of the kill! It was really interesting watching the one try and pull it out from under his brother, but to no avail and there was a bit of growling at each other.

We left and then carried on looking around the reserve. Moremi is a fabulous reserve and there are loads of elephants around, lots of bulls who was so relaxed and great to watch. Also some breeding herds that you have to watch more carefully as the Mum's are very overprotective of their babies - more likely to get aggressive and charge than the old bulls (unless of course they are in musth).

We had a fabulous time and started out early next morning to get to Mboma Boat Station as we were doing another boat trip, this time to the islands. It was a bit of a hectic ride there as the road is quite rough and a couple of bridges to cross. These consist of logs up and over the waterways a little hair raising when you weigh around 5 tonnes!

Will get back to you soon quickly publishing once the photos upload.
