Pre-dawn coffee on the deck of the Star Bed that is next to the elephant boma. We both enjoyed a steaming hot cup of coffee from a sterling silver coffee pot brought to our bedside at 5:45 AM by two wonderful Abu employees. We wanted to be ready for another tour with the elephants on their way out to graze. Abu Camp, a Wilderness Safari Collection Camp. Photo © 2012 Jay Graham, All Rights Reserved
     
  
Phinley, our guide, was able to track a young leopard who was eating a young porcupine for dinner. The leopard had to keep working around and pulling out the quils to get to the "good" parts. This was on game drive at Chitabe Lediba Camp in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
