Hi KeeKee    did you make it over here?

Is the ellie being careful not to suck up the catfish?

Wow..I was just going to go shower and decided to get a little job done at my desk first.  And I am rewarded with an ellie

Also saw one buffer quickly past EP a little while ago 

And the parade of ellies continues - unless its the same 1, 2 or ????? lol

Hi Karen...well, for me it's the first one..lol

You know I thought the watering hole looked to be a good size until I saw the ellie standing next to it. 

Lyn

lol Lyn...they put things into perspective, don't they?  lol

                NIGHT TIME AT NKORHO  

Hi Janice, been watching the ellies off and on for the past few hours, I can't believe its been so busy at the wh.  btw how are you?  Getting ready for work.

Do I hear other footsteps?....yes, another one!

Oh dear, time is marching on and I've got to go shower in a minute and get ready to go out....maybe...lol

There is the second noise maker

Oh what a great thing to log back into, my first ever elephant sighting.

RANGER MEASURED  IT FOR US

68 FT WIDE  80 FT LONG

Hi Karen...I'm very well here.  No, not getting ready for work.  I'm fortunate enough to stay at home and help hubby with his work...doing the bookwork.  Suits me fine :)  But I do have some errands to run and if I leave it too late its hard to find a carpark.  But then, I could put up with that, I guess, in exchange for seeing ellies at the wh's..lol

Hi Afrimoo, pleasure to meet you and welcome to Africam.  It will become an addiction. But a fun one with wonderful people.

Hi Afrimoo,  Yes a nice sighting!

Absolutely Poppet.  So impressive!  

Lyn

G'day Afrimoo...good to have you here

Looks like the show may be over so now I must get moving.  Will probably check back in later.  Bye all :) 

Bokie (sp?) at finger of nk.

Well Alf compared to the Elephant the size of the watering hole looked pretty unimpressive.  I caught your note about the size of the wh.   I'm not really good at picturing measurements in my head but I know big when I see it.  That ellie was big.

Lyn

Visitor right side of pond   NK

Yes definatly an addiction and only been here what 2 days haha. Already have about 3-4 pages of snapshots in photobucket album. Then who in their right mind could not become addicted to seeing such amazing creatures in their own back yard and well im still shocked that the sightings are so frequent. the WH seems like the equivalent of coffee mornings.

Distance cam to water edge: +- 15 meters

                 water to Mike: +- 50 meters

             263  FEET  FROM

 CAM TREE TO MIKE TREE

Hi Lyn, I went into your web site and checked out your pics. I hope you didn't mind.  Pics are really pretty I especially like the the winter pic dated December 11, 2007.  Very pretty winter scene.

Hi again everyone

that looks like our first Ellie visitor tonight, the silly playful one

MY MATH IS WRONG 

45 FT  PLUSS    68 FT PLUSS  150 FT

=   263 FT    THATS THE DISTANCE FROM CAM TREE TO MIKE TREE

I BEEN IN THIS ROOM TO LONG LOL
