Yip Bone dry ..Sable dam itself had some water ..The Hippo Bull fight at midnight right outside the Tsendze fence at our site on the last night was definitely over the last bits of grazing available

In Big Five Country the big herds ensure that the fury prides arent far behind ..I proved that while at Tsendze Tues evening I saw a large 500 strong herd of Buff arrive at the dam ..Thursday morning 36 hours later this grand old lady and her tribe were at that exact same spot and a big herd had slept in the road that night 5 kms south of the dam..Nature's food chain A good click on the images brings out the colour in these low light taken pics

Yup. And the reservoir. The windmill seemed to have been going, though.
Elephant was angry!

I love watching an unsuspecting Kudu Bull slowly make his way closer
