The stench of rotten carcasses filled the Xakanaxa/Gadigwe channel of the Okavango delta in the Moremi Game Reserve last week. 14 dead buffalo floated randomly on top of the flowing water, some of the dead bodies were hooked onto tree branches.
Crocodile and some other carnivores of the river had a raucous feast, but the incident was an eyesore to the tourists on boat trips, as they were forced to block out the offensive smell.
