Life is not the same as before having lost a person I love so much, is difficult to cope with a status quo that I hate but that I cannot change. I miss her but I have to keep going.
Picked up an agent from Jongo, drove him to camp, watching breeding herds after breeding herds of elephants.
Went out late in the afternoon looking for some lions that Moses spotted in the morning.
We got to the area but we found a solid road block in the shape of a small breeding herd of elephants helped by a big bull.
We waited and waited and waited, eventually after probably 20 minutes we vocally pushed them a bit and they moved so we decided to pass. As usual once they saw us going away they started charging with all the trumpeting involved.
They charged us from an angle cutting through the tall grass, and in the tall grass happened to be the 2 male lions we were looking for, who got a big fright and bolted out of their resting place.
They scanned the surroundings, looked carefully at zebras and giraffes and decided they were not worth enough to interfere with their nap, so they went back to sleep.
The light was perfect, golden, warm light of late afternoon. The ellies kept coming and eventually the cats moved again a bit farther giving us another good chance to watch them
