Hmm, this time of night, I'd say it would have to be from the lodge.

Dog is freakin' out.

My bet would be that the elephant breaking a tree.  In terms of going on foot into the bush you would not need to worry as your guide would always carry 375 rifle and the animals generally run away from you.  I'll never forget watching two huge male Lions roaring and running away the moment they caught any idea that we we're approaching them

Probably are them.  Saw them last night too, in the grass.  Imagined they would stand up and roar but it never happened.

I think the geese are right at the edge of the water.  These are two dark spots almost in front of the Marula tree.  onc came all the way across from the finger, I don't know where the second one came from.

OK, at the risk of becoming know as "he who sees and hears things", I believe I just hear lion(s) way off in the distance at Nk.

I heard the lion call too, far off though.

Roger, maybe that is why the landie is out so late.
