The wild dog pups couldn’t contain themselves and just had to play the game. The wildebeest weren’t too perturbed and were happy to play the game although at times it got a little tense when horns nearly clashed with predator. But this never deterred the pups who kept coming back for more action.

The wild dogs spent most of their day chilling out in the hills but awoke for their normal late afternoon greeting ceremony. With that all out the way it was time to chill out again, but the peace was soon disturbed. Danger! No, just a bunch of zebra coming through AND of course time for fun and games!

The elephant herds came in to drink at the pan, but all ended up having a jolly great wallow. And the young bulls, happy to have cooled off, found time to wrestle in the pan before moving on to catch up with the herd.

The elephants moved in to wallow at Ganyani pan. Big ones and littles ones. While the adults got to wallow in a serious way, the little ones were just having fun. But for an even smaller observer, a Knob-billed Duck, this was all a bit much as she watched them trample the area where she possibly had eggs or even little ducklings hidden in the grass.

With my day revolving around the airstrip and flying, the impala were at one stage on the move. The big impala migration takes place several times a day as they for some reason all get together and head west. And then later repeat the same thing heading east! And often times they get impatient and take off!

With flocks often numbering in their millions, Red-billed Quelea are the most plentiful bird in the world. They have the fastest breeding cycle of the birds with only 3 weeks from egg laying to fledging and can breed 2 to 3 times in a good season. It is then that one sees these massive flocks feeding across the savannah.

It’s the annual dung ball race. Jockey’s are in place and the rollers are rolling. Ball 1 maintains a lead until he has a runaway ball. Ball 2 pulls up alongside him and overtakes. But can he hold the lead. He faulters and Ball 1 takes the lead again. Then Ball 1 has a runaway ball and Roller 1 loses his ball. Can he find it in time before Ball 2 takes the lead? This video came straight back to mind when I found myself rolling car tyres up and down the river bed today.

I haven’t seen the dogs for a week now, so was overly excited to see them today. And even happier that they’re all accounted for, all 10 of them. They’re all looking well fed and in great condition.
