The hot showers just arrived!

Our incredibly gracious camp hosts just rolled in with a tanker of water to provide us with hot showers. Life is good!

Making camp... again

We just completed our first 24 hour hippo pool sampling event, and we are beat. We've also been living out of the Land Rover for about a week now, which is exciting as we travel to new places, but also a bit exhausting as we unpack and re-pack every day. However, tonight we're at a beautiful campsite, we are in for a good night of sleep and tomorrow we head back to our little home in the Mara. Plus, we have lots of really cool data on a big hippo pool that we hope will give us new insight into the impacts of hippos on river systems.
