Tales From The Giraffe Pan

March - Snakes are out today

Followed a mamba today probably the biggest I have ever seen, lost the tracks a few times but they turned up near Jason's house.

We all need to be vigilant what with all the long grass and all. Kudu's were just outside the camp last night, when they coughed it sounded just like a lion as it brings down its prey. The night can really make you imagine some wild things. Had to assure the clients that no-one was about to be eaten alive in the middle of the night. In the morning when we went for our walk I was then able to show the client the tracks of all the kudu's that had been drinking at the pan that night. Maybe I should just get a big spotlight and light up the pan so all can see, but what happens if I really do get a lion coming down to drink!

We have had really good rains this year, and the season is not yet over, grivia flava berries were what you might call a bumper harvest, and sweet, yep I feasted every morning and evening on those little raisin berries. Now is the time for the truffles, and the French will weep when they see how many we will eat. Not for us to carefully grate a few pieces on to a pizza, or whatever they eat in France, oh no. We will fry them one kg at a time
