Looking after Grey Matters camp deep in the delta

Yesterday we did clean out the tent as planned and had a small group of banded mongoose visit the fire area, I had set up the camera trap there and they were my first wild subjects!

The trio departed after a quick hose down, Marula has a third lesion on her head now, I think she has some skin irritation and is rubbing against trees.

Yesterday evening we had a herd of impala in the boma, then after the trio returned the impala returned to the outer boma  for the night, I could hear hippo to the North but no lion last night. I herd the leopard again during the night which would explain why the impala are hanging around the boma.

This morning the trio departed towards the airstrip under a cloudy sky, very humid. we cleaned out the boma and awaited the trucks arrival, the truck arrived about 10 am with Dazo on board and 101 bails of elephant feed, all were unloaded in around 45 min, just in time as rain started, we pulled over the tarpaulins and  unloaded the petrol. not so much rain as to seriously wet the bails luckily.

The driver and his mate rested for about a half an hour then set off on their return journey to Maun.
