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.

Giants at Mogorosi

It was so pleasant to bump into two of our Giant friends at Mogorosi on Sunday the 10th of July 2011. It was strange to see that the two young bulls were very nervous and skittish, but that didn’t stop one from showing off and mock charging us just to show who’s the boss. What a great experience - an adrenalin rush!!! Luckily we know that a young bull will very seldom follow through with a charge - its just his performance to show his size and stature. After trumpeting and kicking up dust he turned around and went to drink again.
