The Return Of The Elephants.

I thought that I would start a new thread about the Botswana elephants as navigating between the two previous ones was a little cumbersome. I emailed Camp Kuzumo regarding the activity of the back-hoe around the watering-hole, and they replied saying that it was enlarging the whole prior to the start of the rainy season in November: https://www.earthcam.com/world/botswana/chobe/?cam=campkuzuma

There hasn't been any for the last couple of days Mally although usually there are loads. The camp explained to me that once the rainy season starts about now there are other water supplies available so they don't use his one so much in our winter

what a shame i love watching them especially the babies x

A few minutes ago two elephants strolled around part of the watering-hole and, without taking a drink, just ambled off to the left of the screen:) Keep on checking in, mallyh, and I'm sure you see elephants hanging around.

[sanmac]

Watch the elephants lit-up by the lightening.

[mallyh]

1 hour ago looks like a tree caught fire in the background x

[sanmac]

Quite eerie, isn't it? Mainly sheet-lightening and it doesn't seem to be raining.

[mallyh]

i have the volume turned to full and it sounds like rain and really loud thunder x

[sanmac]

OK, I turned up the volume and it does sound like it's raining. The rainy-season starts in November in Botswana.

Looks to me like a full-moon, but I don't see any howling elephants hanging around:)
