Last night the music played on till 2am and cars were tearing down the road next to the campsite and sleep was minimal.
Washed my bakkie and we set off for Kwhai Community Campsite directly NE through Mababe Gate of Moremi N.P. and then NW for a short while. Roads were dirt all the way , averaging 30km an hour. We came across a watering hole with lots of elephants around and watched them for almost an hour and then continued on and missed the turning to the campsite. Met two young German guys, Sam and Tim, also looking for the camp and then kept on meeting them at the other campsites as we headed north.
The campsite is right by the river with lots of hippos and Elephant, the ablutions were decent and a short walk from camp.
On Sunday went for a game drive up to Khwai and didn't see much, the highlight was a chameleon on the roadside which I was photographing when a couple stopped and told us of a dead hippo nearby, which we found, but only vultures munching on it.
Back in camp we had elephant all around us all evening coming down to drink and cool off.
The Germans were at the campsite next to ours and they went at night to see the hippo carcass for three hours where there were fifteen hyenas eating away at it. They also saw an elephant with a severed trunk, the lower piece still dangling and it was a fresh wound from what they could see. Two of the hyenas had snares around their necks and it will only be a matter of time and they will succumb.
