Thanks folks, sure is good to be in touch with the outside world again.
Moz is good, we all trying to crawl out of Covid in the tourism industry, I guess like the rest of the world.
Up here in the North we have had a fantastic rain season, everything lush, thick and green - great for the wildlife and good for the season ahead too. Niassa Blocks will have a good year ahead.
Cahorra Bassa is reaching the high water mark daily, not far now to the max mark! - a month earlier than normal, promises good water conditions for the Tiger Fish and their food. I only hope that HCB don't dump water too soon this year.
Hippo are breeding well, the pod in my harbor have 3 new babies, not great for my front lawn and the wife's aloe's - she cant get mad when she see's the baby's prancing around their mother while she is out and feeding.
Magoe National Park has had a shift in Senior Management, we hope the new Head of the Park will be as pro-active as the last. New brooms and all.......
I should be back at home at the Lake in June and cannot wait to get into the concession, the rains and clay soil make it impossible during the wet season. I hope to see what has happened to the Buff herd and see how they are doing. Had a PAC hippo just after Christmas and I believe a local PH had a PAC Elephant around the same time - I am yet to meet the individual, they normally live in SA so out over the season only - traditionally.
Hope to be able to source our same Bloodline of Rhodesian Ridgeback and get breeding once again now that the borders to Zim have opened up. We lost our last dog to yet another Croc about 9 months ago and we need someone to take over the reigns at keeping the Baboons away from the Lodge.
Hunting around the Lake continues, not without its challenges, but at least the industry remains. Quota's are being filled which is great news!
