Hippo night


The antelope above are waterbuck, sometimes called the toilet seat antelope because of the round white marking on the rump.


Joel and Jerry took us out of the truck and down to the river to see this herd of 13 hippo. They were very vocal and submerging and surfacing sometimes with a big splash. I have a video of their antics on the Blackberry Playbook. 


We stopped for our usual sundowner refreshments but were interrupted by a leopard party crasher. Joel told us to get in the truck and we left our bar behind and headed out to follow it. 


This is Sheila and Rita (from Vancouver) in our truck at the sundowner site with the full moon in the background.
