The rains have arrived! I thought I could rush off to Mala Mala when the rains started so I’d be in camp if the flood waters got too high that I had to remove all my equipment. But the rain arrived in a hurry and it wasn’t long before there was no access to Mala Mala from the outside world. So here I sit at home (that’s pretty good) worrying about what the floods are going to do.
The north eastern parts of South Africa have received the brunt of these rains causing more flooding and widespread damage and leaving many people homeless. Many have had their houses washed away. But many live in huts constructed of mud and with all the rain these have just “melted” and collapsed.
Tjololo we are thinking of you and trusting you are safe!
But even more concerned about Tjellers. We are expecting her to have her next litter of cubs any day now, if she hasn’t had them already. She should be high up in a rocky outcrop and alright.
