It seems that these little primates are becoming big fans of the night vision camera! I was standing right in the window with a normal video camera for this one! They’re getting brave!

Stephanie and Adrian Arrive
So, after an extremely long flight from Toronto to Vancouver, to Johannesburg, to Durban and then a 3 hour drive to Umkhumbi Lodge, Stephanie and Adrian were finally with us (and I thought my 18 hour flights were bad)! After a shower and a quick nap for Stephanie (she made the mistake of lying down […]
Day 8 – uMkhuze
The bird hunting continues! A fantastic days sightings at uMkhuze, even whilst loading the car with our cameras, telescope, binoculars, bird books and most importantly breakfast we could hear the birds whistling around us. No sooner had we pulled out of Umkhumbi Lodge gate than we see 2 Burchells Coucals sitting on a fence post, […]
Day 6 – Tembe Elephant Reserve
Time to say good bye to Kosi Bay as the boys set out at 6:30 am to head once more to their Hluhluwe accommodation at Umkhumbi Lodge. But whilst we’re driving past Tembe Elephant Reserve, it would be wrong not to go in… wouldn’t it? Don’t let the name fool you, Tembe Elephant reserve is […]
Day 5 – Kosi Bay Turtle Tour
By Lacey Robson on January 29, 2012 in Activities, Amangwane Kosi Bay, Extreme Nature Tour, Jason and Adam, New friends, Wetland Park Group
An early start for Jason and Adam today as they head up to Ndumo Game reserve for a full day of fantastic bird and animal sightings. Only one thing can top a great day, and that is going on a Turtle tour. Sea turtles who usually live in the deep deep depths come on land […]
Day 4 – Kosi Bay Snorkelling
By Lacey Robson on January 28, 2012 in Activities, Amangwane Kosi Bay, Birding, Extreme Nature Tour, Jason and Adam, New friends, Wetland Park Group
Snorkelling is the plan today! Armed with our goggles, snorkels and flippers we clambered into the Land Cruiser ready for Tommy to drive us down to Kosi Bay mouth estuary. It is possible to walk down, but after a long day snorkelling driving back up the hill is much nicer! when we got down to […]
Day 3 – Kosi Bay
By Lacey Robson on January 27, 2012 in Amangwane Kosi Bay, Birding, Extreme Nature Tour, Jason and Adam, New friends, Wetland Park Group
Amangwane at Kosi Bay is one of my favourite places, so imagine my joy when we were to go to Kosi Bay for three nights looking for more birds to tick off of Jason and Adams substantial birdlist! Part of the beauty of Kosi Bay is that it is not too far from <a href=”www.umkhumbilodge.co.za”>Hluhluwe</a> […]

By Lacey Robson on January 26, 2012 in Activities, Birding, Extreme Nature Tour, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, Jason and Adam, New friends
Day 2 – Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Thankfully it was not a baking hot day in the park today! The sun was out, there was no chill on the breeze (except at 5 o’clock in the morning maybe) and the bird sightings were fantastic! hamerkop woolynecked stork hadeda ibis african white backed-vulture lappet faced vulture white headed vulture […]
Day 1 – Arrival – Nature Tour
We have another nature tour on the go at the moment, but this time the focus is on birds (everything else as well – but mostly bird). It is off to a great start though! Tired and weary having just landed in South Africa, Jason and Adam made their way to Umkhumbi Lodge, pulling in […]
Day 6 – Goodbye!
By Lacey Robson on January 14, 2012 in Bushwire, Extreme Nature Tour, Fredrik and Mikael, New friends
The sad day has come, it is time to say goodbye to Fredrik and Mikael. After inspecting the Puff Adder caught last night. We tubed one so we could feel its scales (nothing feels quite like a Puff Adder – the closest is the File snake) it was time to load all the bags in […]
