having lost us. There was no sign of the Kudu which were reported on the hill, but we may come across them later.
We move camp tomorrow in search of Buffalo & Fresh lions & as these here wont have anything to say to us.
[[underlined]] Jan 6. [[/underlined]]
Moved this morning to our present camp about 6 or 7 miles. We are now encamped in a great natural basin with a nice little stream running through the middle. A gigantic hill faces us covered with forest where the buffalo live as well as Rhino & at times Elephants.
We went out this evening in the opposite direction. I shot a fair Impala ram for fresh meat & C got a greater Bustard.
Tomorrow at dawn we hope to find the Buffalo. It is very hot in here but we get nice shade from the trees round the stream. The porters killed a Cerval Cat this afternoon & put up a leopard when cutting wood quite close to camp.
