"One very early morning it still being dark we bumped into the Topi Boys on a kill just a few hundred meters from the Car-Park of Little Governors. The Males had killed a sub adult Hippo during the night and we could hear the commotion the distress calls of the poor Hippo. All 7 Males were present and lots of Hyenas had gathered to seek opportunities to take their share of the kill. There were 2 different Hyena Clans competing and they chased each other back and forth the entire morning. That itself was very interesting to observe. "
