Food was taken care of, but not drinks, so we had to guess how much beer, wine oh and water we would need. Some of us took the opportunity to have coffee and while doing this on a balcony overlooking the fenceline separating the town from the Chobe River I saw a large bright green bird in a big tangled tree, closer inspection revealed bright chestnut areas for a split second before it disappeared. Only one bird answers to this description: Shalow's Turaco! Some African Green Pigeons were nearby too (it wasn't one of them, honest!) We all overloaded the trailer with drinks and other goodies, and I realised that it was a good move having charged all my camera batteries before leaving the hotel in Livingstone - there was no electricity for the next week!1 Sable Antelopes trying to find some shade2 Greater Kudu being photobombed by an Impala3 We had news of a Lion kill and drove across the park to find this Lion with four Lionesses4 Sadly, this is what they had killed the night before5 The Sanitary Inspectors were close by</blockquote>
