As the water is slowly drying up in Katavi we are witnessing
the beginning of the extremes that makes Katavi famous, and large amounts of hippos begin congregating
together. With this many personalities together it is only a matter of time before
someone gets upset. After picking guests up from the airstrip our guide, Paulo Siololo,
came across a road block - a hippo who
had lost a great battle. What a way to enter Chada Katavi!
While one animal losses a battle out in the wild, it
always creates another battle and it was lunch time for an uncountable number
of vultures!
The following morning Paulo and our guests returned to see
what battle was taking place. Much to their surprise there was nothing around
the hippo, until from the other side a young lion walked out with a full belly. A lioness with 2 young
cubs had found the hippo and chased away the vultures to feast and claim the
hippo as their victory.
Stay tuned as the battle for water begins at Chada Katavi
Till next time Justin & Jacky
Thanks to our guide PauloSiololo for the lion pictures
