Seven Hippos relocated to Moremi

Photos of a successful operation to relocate seven Hippos from the mud of Lake Ngami to Moremi Game Reserve. Three other Hippos managed to walk to a pool close to Lake Ngami and three Hippos unfortunately died before they could be relocated. A big thank you to the Botswana Department of Wildlife & National Parks, to SAVE Wildlife, and to the donors of Omogolo Wildlife Trust!
