Our most
recent visitors to the lodge have been enjoying the new improvements to Giraffe
and Duiker huts, namely the outdoor showers.
With the temperatures soaring in recent weeks (40 degrees last
Saturday), the showers are being well
used.

The blossom on these lemon trees in the outside area of duiker shower gives a beautiful scent to the evening air.
I’m hoping
these lemon trees in the outdoor showers will survive the frequent visits by
the elephants. They make a habit of browsing around the lodge perimeter and
think nothing of browsing on the plants inside the fence.

Our tiny
office has also been enlarged considerably, giving us a lot more working
space.

Summer has
arrived with a bang, temperatures are steadily rising and the trees are
beginning to get their summer foliage, but no rain yet. The grass is very dry and brown with very
little water content and we have a steady stream of animals visiting the
waterhole to drink.
