Junes Workparty!

It was a very small group this June weekend only 9 braved the cold, which turned out not to be as cold as we expected! Phew!

The Heritage walkers from Madikwe ended at the Boma, what a mess they left, used toilet paper under every tree, broken bottles and plastic bottle tops, sweet wrappers etc in the big boma.
Jax and Ed cleaned the small boma before we got there. They had thrown plastic & glass bottles into the fire and left the mess and ash for us to clean up. :o(

There are 2 lions going into the big boma for 2 weeks so we had to make sure there was nothing that could harm them and 50 buffalo will be off loaded into the small boma before there release for a few hour after their journey.

We cleared and fixed all the holes on the ramp and cut the long grass and weeds in the other 2 small bomas. They put up shade cloth on the gate so the lions can't see the buffalo!

Graham fixed the electric fence with the batteries from Metswede and repaired the electric fence around Mankwe walkway after something big walked thought the fence!!

Ed replaced the geyser at the HO camp and fixed the leak on the toilet – which is always a good thing!

And then we were woken up early Sunday morning when Graham opened our door and it feel on the ground  - who knows how that happened!!

But just to top it off we had a blow out on the way home – luckily who should come to our rescue but Tom and Margaret on their way back from Namibia, what a small world!!
