Afternoon drive
The heavens opened for our afternoon drive allowing for good
visibility and great photos, as we headed out a small herd of ellies moved east
in front of the lodge we sat a short while when we spotted wild dog tracks
heading north from the western side of the lodge. We followed for a while but
they headed into the northern territory but lucky for us the pack of wild dogs
came back south and found a good spot to relax right on the side of Gowrie main
a couple of metres west of our drive way. We spent quite some time with the
pack watching the juvenile dogs playing around, jumping and plying, wrestling
each other and just being puppies. We enjoyed the sighting in the sun as
yesterday afternoon was a wet experience with the pack. After a good amount of
time the dogs got up and went running in each direction first east then west
for a while then suddenly north we decided to leave them as it was hard to keep
up with the fit dogs. We moved off to get a nice spot for sundowners, but to
our surprise the dogs came running down the road in a southerly direction
calling as they ran. But then again they turned north and ran back! What a
chase!

Morning drive
We barely got on the vehicle and spotted a big bull elephant
in our open area. We headed out and watched the big bull elephant feeding as
the sun rose in the east making a great start to our day. The morning started
chilly but got nice and hot as the morning passed. The game was scarce but elephant
sightings were plentiful.
