Yellow Hornbill, known as Zazu in Disney's "The Lion King" and voiced by Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean.

 

 

Traffic jam Namibian style

 

 

Some of 'em are bloody huge!

 

 

Notice anything odd about the giraffe on the right?

 

 

His jaw was ripped open by a predator and he was ostracized by the others.
Since he couldn't eat or drink, his days were numbered.

 

 

The fort at Halali, Etosha

 

 

Me too.

 

 

A dik dik we saw by the side of the road on the way to Nhoma

 

 

260 kilometers out to Nhoma near the Botswana border on this dirt road

 

 

Home sweet home for 3 nights

 

 

Classic South African made safari tent with en suite bath. Notice our dusty suitcases from the dirt roads.

We came upon this springbok carcass while being driven to our hunting grounds first thing in the morning

 

 

The evidence told the story of what had happened during the night. They showed us where a pack
of wild dogs caught the springbok, then dragged it 5 yards to the spot above where they killed it, and finally
where the carcass was found some 10 yards away.

 

 

Cutting up the bones for roasting

 

 

Preparing the fire

 

 

What looks like useless scraps to us is a feast for them, after knocking the dust off of it.

 

Check out the BBQ
