What's that noise in the background at NK?  Kind of a mix between snuffling or huffing, or even water gurling.

Hello...I think it may be the pump for the waterhole maybe?  Our impala must be getting exhausted poor thing!

Maybe the pump.  I've heard the noise before but never knew exactly what it was.  I've not heard the pump - well, not when I've known its the pump Smiling

Yes, the impala must be getting tired.  They have quietened down a lot the last couple of nights I've been on

??????// IS  THIS   THE WATER AND POWER LINE  FROM THE  NKORHO LODGE TO THE PUMP AT THE NKORHO  PAN ??

AFTER LIVING ON A RANCH  WE SEE THESE  DEPRESIONS IN THE GROUND  FROM  WATER LINES  -   OR - ANIMALS USING IT AS A PATH

Good day Barry

This is the Power and fibre optic cable for the camera that runs from the lodge. The Wildebeest loved rolling in the sand and digging up the cable so we had to brush pack the holes to get them to stop as not to damage the cable.

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.

In winter you will start seeing the paths to the pan, they are like veins congregating towards the pan.

Have a great day

Ernst

They don't run the pump at night at NK, would keep the guests awake

Hi Janice!  I wonder if the noise we hear is a generator?

I've no idea what it is.  Could be a motor of some sort, kind of rattling along

I think I had better get out of here.  I'm trying to do bookwork while watching and listening for critters.  And I'm going to end up charging our customer the wrong amounts or something. lol.  Too much for this old head to concentrate on. 

Hope some critters come by for you
