Back in Erindi

We eventually got the car on Tuesday afternoon and returned to Erindi. We still have to register the car on Omaruru on Thursday and then all will be done except the airbags which will only be done next year.

Just had lunch and the pack of wild dogs were here so we took some photos before eating.

There is rain around but only in patches but it is starting to look a little greener but still no grass for the animals.

Some photos will follow when we have developed them. The internet is slow but we will try our best. They are however putting a new system in so should improve but not sure when.

On our way home we found two lionesses who had just killed a large bull waterbuck.

First days at Erindi

This is our second day at Erindi and yesterday we drove to the lodge and spent time chatting to friends and viewing game at the dam with one huge elephant bull having fun in the water.

Last night Tasha got an sms from one of the cheetah GPS collars indicating the cheetah was dead. We went out this morning and found the cheetah was indeed dead and his hunting partner was nearby. GP scrutinised the area for tracks and all we could find was tracks of a large baboon male. Everything indicated the baboon had surprised the cheetah and had killed it with one bite to the shoulder which severed the spinal cord. We bagged the cheetah and dropped it off in a freezer room to be picked up by CCF for a necropsy.
