Who knew they could fly?	Preparing traditional sundowners, refreshments served as the sun sets.	Our guide had to convince the elephants that they were not invited!	A Kori Bustard
At dusk, even elephants seem to blend into the bush.		As night falls, a spotted hyena's eyes reflect our lights.	Springhare, the "African kangaroo"
Gathering before dinner		Out onto the plains	Hornbills are everywhere

She was warning us not to get too near the cubs.	The cubs are licking their mouths after nursing.		Wildlife - up close and personal
We also came upon an adult female and four one-year-old cubs. Two were hers, and two were orphans.			An elephant skull and tusk
After two unforgetable days at Savuti , it was time to fly to Chitabe Trails.	Waiting for our plane in the "terminal"	Our guide became the ground crew. He had to chase an elephant from the runway!
