Tales From The Giraffe Pan

4th April 2006

A visitor or two

Late last night an egg-eating snake came round the huts. Normally this is nothing to worry about but as we had guests in camp it becomes a concern, you see the egg eater does an excellent impression of a baby Puff Adder. If you don't know this and come across it in the dark, well, it could give you a nasty, err, surprise.

We caught it and let it go outside of the camp, then a bit later on a wildcat came a callin'. It went into all the showers, then just as all the excitement was dying down, two kudu bulls started fighting, the thunk of their horns was heard all the way to Jason's house.

It's the moon you see, all animals follow the cycle of the moon, they are active as long as the moon is up. Day or night. Morning brought sunshine and the chatter of the people from their camp 20 metres away, the smell of tea and fresh bread.

The brown hyena was moving about as well, but he stays away from people. Very wise. Much prefers the lamb pens.

Must go now there is lunch to prepare, and then have to set up for supper this evening, spare ribs maybe.
