Seen enough ellies yet?

Up a Termite Mound: We're at Little Makalolo and it's perfect. Yesterday we watched ellies from the hide. Today I set off with Benson and the wonderful camp manager Charles who found us a huge male rhino with a perfect horn. Out of the truck we popped and started into the thicket. He never knew we were there. Benson and Charles hoisted me up a high termite mound and we watched the magnificent animal. First it posed beautifully. Then it lay down and went to sleep. Some other guests joined us on the mound and watched the rhino sleep. They left. Eventually the others left and we stayed. On dozed the rhino until he finally got up, grazed, moved off, and went to sleep again.

Working our way back to camp a large herd of buffalo were heading to a water hole. Benson, Charles and I took up a crouching position in a dry water trough and watched them pour down the hill to the water hole. Fabulous!
