Woo-
Hoo! James is Back!!
With
an elephant, he's a nervous bull around 16 years old James guesses. HE heads
toward the Djuma pan where there is a buffalo. On the way we see a Nyala bull
and some impala at a quick glance.
The
elephant chases one buffalo out of the water then another to a mud hole in the
dam area, where several other buffalo bachelors are resting. HE then lies down
in the mud and then goes towards James in the vehicle.
