Spotted Hyena

We made a few stops on the way, the first sights were a family of Banded Mongoose, a ’dazzle’ of zebras (both Hartmann’s Zebra and Burchell’s Zebra), and then a ‘cackle’ of Spotted Hyena (you’ve got to love the collective nouns for African wildlife!) before finally arriving at the waterhole. Siggi was right; there were Black Backed Jackals, Springbok and Oryx all around. I didn’t count but there must have been around 30 or so animals. Way out in the distance and through the heat haze we could make out a few giraffes. Not long after we had arrived, a large herd of zebras came to drink the water. It was the perfect way to spend a morning.
