Baobab at night

Baobab "Bob" is a Mombo landmark, considered to be our good luck
charm- this succulent could be well in excess of a thousand years old.

Meet Blue-Eyes...

Meet Blue-Eyes, a male leopard I haven't met yet- obviously the baboon
wasn't too pleased to meet him!

the Mporota pride goes hunting...

The Mporotas took advantage of the cool weather to stay active late
into the morning- tempted by the scent of a large herd of buffalo that
had passed by earlier- we found them emerging from the scrub onto the
Mombo soccer pitch, casting wary eyes over the open expanse, sensitive
to any movement, scanning the bush on the other side for any possible
prey.
