The neighbours come visiting

Chada Camp, Katavi.  There has been plenty of rain and the whole park is a delicious green - so different from my last visit here.  There are huge herds of elephant (300+ in one group we saw) and buffalo (around 800 in one group, we reckoned).  The Chada pride appears to be making kills every other day or so - one day we find them on a fresh eland kill.  It's all happening.

As we sit on the deck one day, there is a rustling in the bushes and an elephant appears, munching happily.  Then another, and another... it's the Mahoneys, frequent visitors to the camp.  So we settle down for a happy half hour of elephant antics.

One female, with 1 tusk missing, is a proper prima donna - she holds her head high, flares her ears and stomps around glaring at us.  Then gets on with lunch again.

Here's a short Mahoney video - enjoy!  And please let me know what you think of it.
