Successful relocation!

The the last of the water in our now humble hippo pool receding the Department of Wildlife in partnership with Great Plains Conservation have started relocating some of the crocs that reside in front of our little camp to bigger and wider waterways deeper in the Okavango where they can flourish happily and avoid any human wildlife conflict.

The hippos are still around and are seen daily splashing around with the young ones 🦛
