Tonight we woke up several times from close up lion roars. We share our breakfast with beautiful and very social birds and leave around 6.30. After only a couple of hundred meters we meet the Lion King. Walking slowly after his lion queens. Our guys managed to repair the turbo and put it back yesterday. They also got some good advice how to drive this car, and how not to. Here the landscape is a little less dry. Some of the trees and bushes are green and the early morning air is relatively cool. Yesterday we saw very few animals. Today makes up for that more than well. We see elephant hearts with baby elephants. All walking in a row, just like the Jungle Book. Here and there lonely and very big male elephant bulls, and some bachelor groups which consists of male elephants, old enough to be kicked out of the breeding heard but not old enough to be by themselves. Wildebeest, zebras, all kinds of antelopes. Mighty tall giraffes and giraffe babies so well camouflaged that they are hard to discover. A leopard lies lazy on a tree branch just above us. We stop for lunch beside an Eden like river where hippos are playing and numerous birds are trying to catch a fish or two.
Time flies. After ten hours (could have been nine but we spent one hour looking for our designated camp site) in a car that moves like a small boat on a wild ocean we stumble out on the ground. The world is spinning as we stand still. Moremi game reserve, yeah, we are going to stay here for two nights!
