We watched this incredible scene outside Jao Camp for two hours. A hippo we were watching started gnawing on what we suddenly realized was a hippo corpse - his opponent defeated in the battle we had heard the night before.

After some initial nervous ear-flapping and trumpeting these elephants gathered around for a closer look at us - a wonderful encounter.

Notice how they surrounded the calf protectively. We were en route to the beautiful Kings Pool camp in northern Botswana. Minutes after arrival on the airstrip we were in the thick of things Botswana style.
