Our second day in the magical Huab Lodge. We try again to see the desert addapted elephants. And… yea! We (ie Deon, the owner and guide) manages to find them in 250,000 hectacres. Phew. And a group he doesn’t see often. So glorious. A privilege.

The trip was down the now dry river, maybe a total of 30km, a few Km’s tracking fresh footprints – easier in mud! – and then 35Km back. With lunch under a tree. What a day.

A bit of a dash back as the clouds were starting to billiow up over the mountain sides. Not a good place to be in the steep sided valley when the rain comes rushing down, as it can do in moments. There was a light shower, always welcome but not enough, yet.
