We have busy working with DNPW planting Rhodes grass grass and bracharia to boost the seed bank and improve soil in the park. We are extremely grateful to WWF and Warren Struik from Chisamba for donations of seed and to Judy and Arthur from Zambezi Nkuku for a 8 cubic meters of chicken manure. We have planted on the areas we were feeding in rotation this year, now heavily mulched, with hope of improving soil in these areas with the mulch, concentrations of rhino manure from middens, elephants, zebra, impala dung etc and concentrated hoof activity.

The ducks, geese and storks have arrived for breeding in the mambos and along the river: white faced, whistling ducks, spur wing geese, spoonbills, woolly necked storks. This is a fantastic time of year for birding.

Lots of baby wildebeest born this year! And baby zebras...with more on their way!

I apologise for not posting for a while. We had a lot in our own lives to catch up with. The rains finally arrived on the 15th December and have been generous and gentle with almost daily showers since then. Perfect for germinating seeds and growing grass, filling waterholes and dambos. The park is again a place of abundance!

Lovely seeing the waterbuck, impala, puku, warthogs feeding at our waterholes and wetlands. Fresh green grass growing at last where we have been pumping. And the waterbirds are loving it too.
