Day 12--Quiet Evening and Rainy Morning

Our evening drive last night was very quiet.  When we left Makanyi we saw a bunch of warthog families.  Not sure how many there were, but I have been used to seeing solitary warthogs, so this was a treat.

No matter what you think about warthogs, you've got to admit these two babies are pretty cute.

We were heading south and got word about a fight between two bull elephants.  One was killed.  We couldn't go into the area because there were research teams there taking DNA, other groups getting the meat for animal rescue centers, and the tusks were gathered so poachers couldn't get them.  It's amazing how organized Timbavati reserve is for all eventualities.

I did get a great shot of a European Roller.

There was a beautiful sky right before sunset.

This morning started wonderfully and then it started pouring.  We did have a great day before the rain started.  We saw adult jackets and then these two babies waiting patiently for their parents to return.

We saw lots of rhinos before the down pour.  We were following this male lion in the pouring rain.  The photos aren't that clear, but it was still really cool following this fellow.  We also saw a puff adder in the road.

It's hard to believe we'll be leaving tomorrow.  What a great trip.
