NKORHO  LODGE  JEEP

Dear Barry

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

 NOW HOP ON THE SAFRI JEEP AND COME FOR A RIDE

TO THE NKORHO AND ELEPHANT  PANS

Heard zebbies alarming and now a wildie calling out..is there lions around?

someone tell the tourists its not christmas!!

Hi Penzi...there was a lion sounding fairly close earlier, but it sounds like it's moved away.  But all the critters still seem to be quite nervous so don't know if there's something else around

Anyone recognise what slinked over for a drink at the finger 5 mins ago?

Thanks for the new day Barry...really is a safari drive today

But you have to be here New Years Eve Best party in the world!!!

Thanks Janice, hope they come back soon!

Guess I should take a chance and go shower and try to look at least half presentable for the day..lol.  Back soon.  If a kitty shows up, tell him to wait for me

AND I HAVE     5 KIDS   KIDS ALL WATCHING CARTOONS

Hello kitty I hear ya again!

Thanks for the info on the "people noise".  I always wonder how the animals react to that noise if they react at all.  I thought maybe they just learned to ignore it over time. 

The tourists seem to be enjoying themselves.  We'll see how they feel in the morning

I'm back...did I miss anything?

Not yet the lion sounds closer

Thanks Cowboy, I heard him a little while ago. Probably going to be one of those teasing nights again, that they seem to be so good at

  CANT BE ANYMORE

DANGEROUS THAN THE NKORHO PAN  AND A HERD OF

ELEPHANTS

Wonder how long that catfish will stay in the pond on his own?  Especially if there's too many visits from spa seeking ellies

That IS NOT hornbill I am hearing.  right?

ALF Miss W doesn't race tonight and the car quals are tomorrow

Hi Kee Kee, you are right, it's not hornbill...try something of the kitty variety, like lion...lol

Not much sleep at the NK lodge tonight....wonder if she just found a big spider in her room...lol

  I have been hearing it also..sure sounds like a Hornbill to me, but others say Giant Eagle Owl ..it could be either, but just the tone and rhythm..I sa Hornbill ..but strange hearing them at night isn't it ??

I hear the Lion at there also

I haven't been hearing anything other than the lion and the people...ok, now a whooper and another bird..is that the Scops Owl?

good evening everyone - I just turned on the cam and besides the splish - splash, I hear a scops owl.  I'll listen for the hornowl

I saw the fish lol not much else

Good Evening All.

I thought I saw Mr Catfish too Sandy.  Also thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  

THANKS   ITS FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IN B.C.  SO WE HAVE GAMES BACK TO BACK STARTING AT 4.00 PACIFIC

ON  TSN   -   SPEED HAS  TRUCK RACE AT  5,00

WOMEN PERMITTING  -- THEY SAY I HAVE  TO CHOOSE ONE

OR NOTHING  LOL

 

Did anyone see the little critter about 45 mins ago take a drink from the right hand side? Looked like a small cat, wondered if it was a serval or some other wildcat or was it just a jackal?

Ok, now I can just hear that low pitched hoot kind of sound.  I don't know enough of the sounds yet to identify it.  I have EP on and the buzz from that was drowning it out

i saw that grim not sure at all what it was i thought a impala
