Puzzles caught with her pants down: Video


How can I complain? Well actually I’m not. Life is just brilliant and the bush here at Malilangwe is some of the very best I’ve ever been in. So what more could I want?

Fuji
…..some better tyres would help. Just blew another one today. That’s 3 in 3wks. Whereas on my old conventional road tyres (not these fancy ‘off-road’ tyres), I had 4 blow outs in 20yrs! ………Going back to my old tyres ☺
The dogs continue to hunt in the north which at times can be really good, but the past few days they’ve been keeping to the Grewia thickets which make travel and visibility really tough most of the time.
The dogs were hunting at dawn and had many impala to chase with only Jiggy being successful. On returning the pups were frantic trying to get him to regurgitate, but today there was no free lunch and the pups had to find the remains of his kill.

Pack kill
In the evening they were again in good impala country but the pups instead ended up chasing several buffalo that took off. And the faster they ran the faster the pups ran after them. Even Puzzles and Jiggy joined them.
I don’t know what happened in the end, as I wasn’t able to keep up, and then found the pack resting at this pan on the old airstrip.

Sundowner
For the last few days my cameras have hardly rolled, with really only just enough to do the 3mins of Wildcast every day. But I know if I keep at it something lucky WILL come along.
Roll on Luck!
