Nice congregation here, but I feel you need to level this frame according to the reflection and not the sky.

Quite pleasing, Sandy, but I do agree with Jagdeep that level is best indicated by reflections.

Sandy, I know this exact spot - our houseboat moors directly opposite "Elephant Bay" and we spend multiple nights docked here. Always nice shooting from a boat on the Chobe. I would look at your leveling, I know the lay of the land is tricky here but I tend to use the water line as guidance, especially where the first pod of elephants are standing more-or-less perpendicular to your position, and the reflections are also a good guideline as noted.
