I fly home on Tuesday 😞 😞 Can't believe it is all coming to an end! I don't want to go back to the real world! I definetly feel like I can do anything now and I will! I've decided I want to study in South Africa next year and hopefully I will!!Well anyway I haven't had a chance to update for awhile I haven't been to town for 2 weeks because I was on a ranger course for 5 days last week. I was awesome only 4 students got to go and I was one of them.We went to a place called Nhoveni which is a private part of Kruger that Moholoholo owns.I have been there before but this time it was much better! I learnt a lot about tracks,trees,birds etc and we got to go on a sleep out. We had to take it in turns to keep watch for two hours at a time to look for animals. I kept watch with Nancy and we saw an Elephant 5 metres away. It was making a funny noise and really scared us!We also saw Civit,Jackel and Wilderbeast throughout the night. In the morning Colin the ranger walked around
and saw Cheetah and Leopard tracks 5 metres away from where we slept. We were gutted as no one had even seen them!
Umm what else have we been up to? We released a Python that we had and also went to catch a crocadile at Jackelberry Lodge. It had been coursing trouble and they were scared it would hurt one of the kids that were often by the river. We set up a trap for it and while we waited we had a drive around to see the wildlife we were soo lucky as we saw lots of Lions and a Buffalo up close. Within 20 minutes we caught the crocadile and took it back to the rehab. Later that day we released it in the dam at Mountain view which is a part of Moholoholo.
I now have a baby Warthog. She is gorgeous. I only have her for a week though but she is already following me around!
We are moving Buzz the thick tailed Bush baby into a new enclosure today.Its really exciting as he is now going to be living outside and is one step further from being released. I am going to
Me and Buzz hehe
Clinging to my hair his favourite placesleep in his enclosure tonight with him as hes not used to being outside and hearing lots of animals. I can't wait 😊 don't think i'll actually get any sleep though. Well anyway I will leave you with some pictures from the last couple of weeks. This is my last blog from South Africa 😞 boohoo
