Africa Wild

Great spotted cuckoo

Wild Earth daily Safaris is what got me through Covid Lock Down ..sad to see how Sabi Sands has changed since Commercialisation though. All the Properties were 4-5 time bigger and less of them as a result , all family Holiday farms ..My Family had 2 Properties 'Sparta farm ' Half share with Grandfather Varty now Londolozi ..Used to go and stay for Free as long as I liked until Guest came along Bye Sparta ..Then the other Farm was Charleston Next to Kruger Boundary Owned by my other 2 Aunts ..As a Teenager walking unhindered in that Bush , Shooting Impala for the Pot Now the Southern Third of Mala Mala just N of Kirkmans Camp which is on Bill Roche's old Farm Kingston ..Now its 2 way Radios , Barging SUV's ,Electricity , Fenced in Lodges , $$$$$, Hollywood Chandeliers and lots of well heeled not interested in the bush Guests who prefer Beauty Salons at these places more than learning about the bush. We had a Long Drop , Pots of Food cooked on an open fire , Parafin Lights , a Donkey Geyser , unfenced very basic 1926 style Kruger Huts and 8000 hectres to walk on instead ..I miss that terribly and wouldnt spend a cent there now as I prefer Kruger Style self Drive to places like Grootvlei dam than to be Schlepped down a Lodge Tarmaced Airstrip in a crowded OSV radio blaring
