Goodbye to some more new friends
This morning we waved goodbye to six of our new friends who came to stay with us at Umkhumbi Lodge. On their last night at Umkhumbi Lodge they went on a night walk around the trail with us. Armed with a UV torch, we took a stroll down to the trail and […]
New friends
At Umkhumbi lodge we like to think of our guests as friends. We travel too and we know that nothing beats feeling truly welcome where you are staying. The downside of this is that it is always sad seeing them leave. But leave they must as they continue their travels through South Africa. Today we […]

Chelsea the Black Mamba Joins the Property Ladder
It would appear that Chelsea has indeed found herself a little underground home. Two days in a row now we have spotted her sunbathing and then – when she realises we want a photograph – gets camera shy and hightails it into a nearby termite mound. Now, I realise the pictures aren’t very good, but […]
Gizmo returns – for a little while
It has been decided among the crew that Gizmo should be rereleased. However we have decided this time to release him without the transmitter. He is just a little too small and whilst he is doing fine in captivity with the transmitter in place we have our doubts about how well he will be able […]
Clouddog wilderness trail – the start
‘The Colonel’ (as Tommy is referred to by the students) picked up the Clouddog students at the end of their cultural tour at Eshowe, and was pleased to find them ready and waiting. Everyone had even followed instructions and packed their small trail rucksacks the night before, so all that was left to do was […]
