The stench is terrible, it has been there for 8 days now.
We saw a tagged vulture on the carcass tag number C167, we are sending this to the authorities and will advise us.
We had a great sighting of a Leopard at Nsemani dam on the Orpen Satara road

Girvana water hole our favourite, note the devastation around |
At Girvana |
Girvana water hole is our favorite spot to spend the afternoons it is 25min drive from Satara it is situated on the junction of the S40 and S12. Many mornings we drive straight there arriving 06h30 and make Coffee.
I have booked a walk for Saturday Morning 14 May, up at 04h30 leave by game viewing vehicle at 05h00 to the starting point, Sunrise is at 06h20 when we start the walk as soon as there is enough light.
What a fascinating story. Two possible reasons why predators have not fed of the hippo, the hippo could have been died from a disease (most likely). Or dehydration, in extreme cases of dehydration the skin can tighten and become extremely tough. Enjoy the walk. Allen.
