Chilojo Cliffs

We followed our usual "bush routine" - Up and out early and back in camp by latest 11:00 to try avoid the midday heat, which was peaking at around 40+ degrees. Then a short afternoon drive to properly top off the batteries which were plugged into our solar panels between drives.

We saw a fair amount of elephants and general game, including eland, sable and buffalo.  The terrain is extremely dry and in places, it is evident that there are 11000 elephants in the park.  

Although we saw a fair amount of birds, the variety wasn't as high as we expected. I guess the poor rainfall over the last 2 years has a lot to do with that.

The view from both the bottom and top of the cliffs is quite beautiful.  I'm sure it must be really spectacular after good rains when the bush is green and lush.
