The Lowveld has had exceptional rainfall the past few months (about
1800mm which amounts to three times the annual average) causing severe
flooding and damage. it will take many months to do all the repairs.
Several Camps are not yet fully operational and only main roads are
accessible. Ann & I decided to do a local recce yesterday - about 20Km
in & out. The bush is so thick - you wouln't see a herd of elephants at
50m. We did spot some Buffalo, a Cowned Eagle, some Impalas & a breeding
herd of Ellies near the edge of the road. Here is a shot of a younster
which put on a bit of a show:
