Warthog and Such

Within minutes of this evening's game drive we were surrounded by elephants again. They communicate with a low rumble which is amazing to hear. It is a bit nerve wracking to be near them because they are so big!! 
We came across a warthog at close range. It actually has wart like things on its face. 
Petro, our spotter, has eagle eyes and noticed a leopard hidden on top of a termite hill.
Finally, we were treated to female lions nursing their young. What a treat that was. The big male lay some distance away, fast asleep.
We are getting tired of all the early morning rising. One more game drive before we head home!
Oh, yes. We also saw three white rhinos wallowing in a pond.
