Lions at Xakanaxa.

We set up camp and had a late lunch. Just before we were going to go on a game drive some bull elephants started to cross the river from Namibia - got some great photos of about 4-5 crossing. Clint got me to sneak down to the river behind a little bush to get better photos which was all very cool until a younger bull decided to not take the normal road out of the river.

He instead decided to come straight for the bush we were behind, we moved rather promptly to another vantage point and decided we had to take a different route back to camp - meanwhile the ellie decided he was also taking the same route.... so we had to do a quick reverse and take a very circular route back - quite eventful I tell you.

Anyway all the time Martin was up on a huge fallen tree and the ellies were passing right in front of him. They are just so relaxed around this region - thank God!
