An Alien birthday weekend at Sirheni

Exciting to watch - if you are not the target

[Alf]

We carried on going north......

We turned off towards Shingwedzi to take another toilet break and to stretch the legs but before the camp we found this hippo family enjoying the sun

It was strange to see them still laying in the sun as it was almost lunch time and pretty hot.

This one already burned pink

Also a few crocodiles still warming up

We arrived at Shingwedzi but didn't stay too long as we wanted to get to camp early

[Lisbeth]

How strange to see all those hippos lying in the sun

[Pumbaa]

Lovely hippo shots, Alf

love it when they are taking a sun bath

[RogerFraser]

We saw similar scenes around Shingdwezi in July .Think the hippos are battling because of a lack of water

How strange to see all those hippos lying in the sun

And in the middle of the day....

[Alf]

Lovely hippo shots, Alf

love it when they are taking a sun bath

Yeah the whole family were out

Very true and i think during winter months it takes them longer to heat up in the sun

[Lisbeth]

I don't really think that they need to heat up, or do they

I saw two hippos grazzing in February at 13:00

The naughty elephant!

Very good, Alpheus!
