This afternoon I spent some time at the hide. I was quite lucky, as there were a variety of animals that came down to drink. Starting with a breeding herd of elephants, who were drinking right in front of the hide.

After they left a herd of 6 kudus came down to drink and left in the same direction as they came. Shortly after, a dazzle of zebra arrived, but did not drink. Then two giraffe appeared. Another busy hour at the waterhole!
