Serval at Umkhumbi Lodge

Lacey / September 5, 2011 / No comments

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a good weekend?

Our motion detect, night vision cameras (supplied to us by Brickhouse Security) have unfortunately not caught the Leopard whose tracks we found last week.

But what they did catch was even better!

Servals are reclusive and sightings are very rare, but thanks to the cameras we were able to capture this footage of the Serval here at our Hluhluwe accommodation near to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi game reserve in South Africa.

So, I hear you ask. How do we know that the Leopard tracks do not belong to the Serval? Well, we have found the Serval tracks and they are much smaller than the Leopard tracks, so there are definitely two different African cats at Umkhumbi Lodge.

Camera trap – Forest Cobra

Lacey / August 18, 2011 / No comments

In the short duration of our telemetry project so far, we have discovered that all three snakes seem to have taken up residence in specific areas of the bush in which they were released. Using this knowledge, we have set up motion activated nightvision cameras, these cameras were supplied to us by Brickhouse Security.

Trying to pre-empt the next exploration direction, we left the camera out for a few days in the hope that Vader the forest cobra would saunter past. As we approached the camera trap, who did we see but Vader! Thankfully our video camera has a long zoom so we could film Vader without getting too close.

Actual footage from the motion cameras will be coming soon!
