Shareholders will be excited to hear that the waterhole regeneration programme continues apace and this month has seen work at Mbusi. The new pool is located a little to the southwest of the old trough but remains within view of the hide (as well as being sited perfectly for potential future hide developments). Feedback from shareholders has been used to create a reasonable size pool with an irregular outline to better mimic a natural waterhole. The low profile and coloured concrete mixture means it blends in very well with the surrounding soil and I'm sure all will agree this represents a major improvement on what went before.

To coincide with the filling of the new waterhole one of the trail cameras has been sited here since and is already capturing some fantastic new shots including 3 leopards within a 48 hour period! Check out the Mbusi Trail Camera gallery for the latest images or click on the thumbnails below.

Thanks to the reserve management team and staff who have undertaken this strenous work in the increasing summer temperatures and humidity and delivered us another great spot to watch our wonderful wildlife.
