Someone
has found an active hyena den after all the searching they have not moved they
are right where we saw them last, so she is driving madly to get there in time
for us to see them. However it is already probably too dark to see much of
them.

Elephants. There is a bull with a torn ear who James says he might have to he
is maybe 18 to 20 years old but James ends up having to hit the side of the
vehicle to make sure he doesn’t get too close and as he passes in front of the
vehicle he gives a quick head shake and moves on across the road.
