Rainy days

It is raining since yesterday, sometimes just drizzling a bit, but mostly pouring. And still we are going out, to find the lioness with her cub and to check on the twisted collar of an elephant, to avoid it hurting or strangling him. And later to look after the female cheetah, who had been released last week from the Boma.
The lioness was hiding with her cubs and a carcass of a warthog in the bushes, really difficult to find, especially with all that rain, so there are no pictures yet.
The elephants were down in a valley, you could only hear them moving through the trees and bushes and suddenly they were right in front of the car - very curious about these strange creatures in their raindrenched ponchos.
On our way to see the cheetah there was some traffic on the roads with white rhinos and giraffes, but I'm slowly getting used to it.
The cheetah was hiding under a bush with her prey and we were able to walk just 10m in front of her, absolutely amazing...
So rainy days are not at all bad!Read more
