Day 3 - Adventures fill our souls

Day 3 started slowly. A lonely elephant decided to visit us in the night and drank from our water pit - dug the previous afternoon. No one heard him - 30m from out tent. The only evidence its tracks.

Back for lunch and then started one of the most adventurous but sad incidents that we will always remember.
