BUSH WALK - THANKS TO JACQUES

Briefing before bush walk:
1. Rules regarding handling of firearm
2. Cameras photography only with ranger consent
3. Trail rules- single file behind the ranger, stay close and no lagging behind
4. Minimum noise
5. No smoking
6. No littering
7. Pre- arranged communication signals
8. Emergency drill: no this point all depends on the danger and what is happening. Your main aim is to back-up and move quietly out of the sighting.
9. AN NEVER RUN
10. enjoy the walk

They leave for bush walk after breakfast all depends on what time the game drive came back and how long breakfast takes, but generally at 10 am.

Max number on bush walk 8 guest if a back-up walks with and only 4 if the ranger walks alone.

A walk is between a 1hour and 1 and a half hours. ( I have been on a 2 and half hours walk before at Nk) depends on the guest.

QUESTIONS ARE ASKED MY MEMBERS-

RANGERS ANSWER THEM

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pump for the pan runs off an old Lister motor that is what you hear when we start the pump, the boreholes for the lodge is west of the pan and runs on electic pumps

We try and pump the wh on Tuesdays only because of the noise the pump makes. Other wise when the water level is really low we start the pump.

NKORHO LODGE JEEP

Our safari jeeps are Toyota hilux 4x4 vehicles.
They carry at the max, 10 people but we try keep it at 6 people per
vehicle
so it is as comfortable as possible.

The game drives are 3-3 1/2 hours long and it all depends on the
sighting,
such as a leopard kill or lion pride, in km it can vary from 10 to 50
km.
But we try to keep driving to a minimum and rather enjoy a sighting for

longer and have a memorable experience.

Bush greetings

THANKS FOR THE ANSWER ON THE ELEPHANT

Bush Greetings Barry

Hope this helps have attached info relating to mange this is common during long periods of little to no rain often cause by stress due to the conditions of the veld and lack of water, all hair in some animals will fall out and only then regrow however some animals are permanently marked by the effects of the mange.

Mange is a general term for several skin ailments caused by tiny mites that infest skin or hair follicles of dogs, cats and other mammals. Mange mites cause an allergic reaction and intense itching. Most commonly the term is used to describe the condition caused by the sarcoptic mange mite (near right), Sarcoptes scabei. This is the same mite that causes scabies in humans.

The other common "mange" is caused by the follicle mite Demodex sp. (far right). Normally this tiny mite lives in hair follicles and causes no symptoms. Occasionally, however, populations explode causing hair loss and itching. Demodectic mange (demodextic mange) is often associated with stress, or other illness, which predisposes the animal to an outbreak.

Mange is a very serious condition and should be treated. The stress brought on by the intense itching and the secondary bacterial infections caused by wounds opened by scratching can be fatal.

Thanks

Morning from Nkorho.

Barry I have been at NK 11 months, and this was the first Bushbuck sighting for me at NK. When the Bushbuck left from the wh she came right into the lodge infront of room 3 eating the grass. I phoned Karin to tell her and she didn't believe me and Karin has been at NK 5 years.

WATER PUMP - how many gallons ( or litres) does

the tank hold 800 liters ( 211 gallon) - how long does it take to

empty the tank 25-35 minutes depends on at what strengh you spraw the water and how long to fill the tank with water 1 minutes

and how long is the fire hose 150 meters

and does each lodge in your area have a ( fire truck set up

like yours ) there is only one lodge out of the 7 that doesn't have a Fire King.

thank you
