I have an answer for you now - the 'frogs' that we hear at Nkorho are, in fact, Olive Toads Bufo poweri which are on the IUCN Red List for South Africa Bufo poweri is a morphological variation of Bufo garmani (true Olive Toads) which are found in Northeast Africa __________________

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the message that Campbell sent me with the name of the 'frogs' but I do remember that he said it was actually some kind of toad, not a frog. __________________
