Pack of hyenas feeding on what is left of baby elephant. Hyenas live in clans of 50-130 individuals, with very complex social hierarchy. Clan is led by dominant female and her Cubs take rank directly under mother. Immigrant males rank lowest in the hierarchy. #khwaiprivatereserve #sablealleycamp #sablealley #hyena #safaris #luxurysafari #luxurytravel #safarispecialists #travelagent #naturetravel #instatravel #bucketlist #okavangodelta #villagetravelagency #arlingtonma #brooklinema

There are estimated 130000 elephants in Botswana. We encountered huge herds everywhere and at one point had to backtrack and get to our lodge from different direction as huge bull elephant decided not to let us through.
