Friday 16th January 2009 - A chance to get to know each other, we sat on the edge on the golf course overlooking the lake, with Kevin trying to force feed us muffins and juice, a family of warthogs racing around the gardens and hippo snorting from the cool waters! So after a quick intro into the programme, it was down to the nitty gritty, paired up you got to interview your respect partner and confirm what you'd learnt to the rest of the group in a 'getting to know you' exercise, Peter drew the short straw, having to suffer my interrogation!Later in the day we visited the Biological Control Breeding Centre, discussing the dangers of alien species such as prickly pear and water hyacinth, and the measures of control that are available. From there we went to the bomas, livestock enclosures used to quarantine any animals moving in or out of KNP.
On most days we will be going on two game drives, so rather than bore you to death with every sighting I will create a small section called.....'Going Wild', to keep you abreast of Krugers' inhabitants!
Today I'm 'Going Wild' about seeing three Spotted Hyaenas! My spot too, beginners luck me thinks!
