This morning started with a couple separate rhino spottings.

We were able to spend some time and get a good look at this guy.

This group of rhinos included a baby, but they would not come out into the open for us.

Hippos
We got the news that some wild dogs had been found so we headed off to try to intercept them.

Wild dogs, also known as painted dogs, are not the most common sighting. They are endangered and they tend to be on the move. We followed these 3 for as long as we could.




Fish eagle

Brown snake eagle

This juvenile male elephant decided to trumpet at us as we drove by.

We found the Kambula coalition of 4 brothers and sister napping on a mound.

After sunset we ran into the Kambula lions again as they were heading out for the evening.





We ended our day with a bush dinner on the camp runway with a hyena sitting nearby keeping watch. I think it was waiting for us to drop some food.
