The Tjololo Diaries

30th October 2000
Were we really missing spending our nights out that we spent last night out? We headed north to the area where the White Cloth female had her cubs and spent the night sleeping there hoping she would return to suckle them, but no joy.
In the morning we searched forever for Tjololo and found his tracks heading east into Kruger.


But there was some good news around. We spotted our first impala lamb of the season. So in the next couple of weeks they will start to pop up everywhere and there will be those unfortunate little guys who won’t make it as they fall victim to predators. But many more will survive.
The babies are really dropping with a newborn zebra foal seen this morning and a warthog with 3 piglets yesterday. They must be about 2 weeks old, as they don’t venture out the hole until around that age.
In the afternoon a really cold wind and dark clouds descended on the whole area and luckily the rain held off till after sunset when a gentle drizzle set in, while Tjololo was still doing whatever in Kruger.
