What? no photos!!

I just took a trip today to go to a meeting in Rundu, which is 500km from here at the other end of the Caprivi strip, that means we have to drive through the national park, the strip is only 50km wide, but about 500 km long.
On this one trip I saw Elephant, Lions (the first I have seen since being in Namibia) Honey badger, Baboons, Ostriches and bushbuck, amazingly for me, I didn't get one photo of any of them, but they were all very close to or running on the road in front of us, but this was a business trip, not a sight seeing tour, so no photos.
If any of these creatures are not familiar to you, you could look them up on your favorite search engines photo page.
The two lionesses were BIG cats, and were just off the main road by about 10 meters, on a side road, they seemed to be just watching the cars go by, they made eye contact as we went by, quite thrilling. By the way, the village in the photo below is in the exact same area as these animals, so any one of them could walk right on in any time.
