Eighty-one buffaloes defiled in slow procession before our fire one evening, within gunshot; and herds of splendid elands stood by day, without fear, at two hundred yards distance.

They were all of the striped variety, and with their forearm markings, large dewlaps, and sleek skins, were a beautiful sight to see.

The lions here roar much more than in the country near the lake, Zouga, and Chobe.

One evening we had a good opportunity of hearing the utmost exertions the animal can make in that line.

We had made our beds on a large sand-bank, and could be easily seen from all sides.
