Yes Mum it's another dead thing!

Despite motherly complaints about the number of entries on the blog featuring African wildlife that has shuffled (or been pushed!) of this mortal coil I thought you should see this. This male bush buck was about five years old.

P.S. Dad - Totally smoked this chap lung shot with the triple two he didn't make it twenty yards. He was in fantastic condition and a nice trophy. I shot him from the top of the Land cruiser a few hundred yards from the house. When you going to come play bang bang?

Fish, Hippo and the Boys!

Kawala wild life camp is situated in the Kafue national park which on all accounts large. It is large than Wales! I went for two days with Fergus the farms general manager and his son Douglas. We had some great fishing and dined like kings from the river.

I had taken an aerated tank to bring fish back for the fish tank. The staff who were worked at the camp were in fits of laughter watching us catching all the small fish and getting frantically excited about new species of catfish for the tank. The staff were most bemused as "you can't eat the little ones they are useless"

The Hippo were fantastic and in great numbers. It added a bit of a buzz to the fishing trip having the three ton residents to contend with. We only saw one big croc and a load of little fellows but it did make you a little nervous when getting into the water!
The game viewing was really great on the way to the camp we saw both Lion and Leopard. We had Hippo walking around the camp at night. All in all a fantastic trip and all are welcome to join me next time.

Willy the Wildebeast!

Ladies and gentle men may I introduce to you William (Willy) the wildebeest. This fine young man was abandoned by his useless mother. He followed one of the game guards all the way to the house. He is incredibly friendly following everyone around and will lie down if you do.
William joins the pack of motley hounds and Cyril the Serval!! The house staff have said they will resign if we bring any more animals home. Just wait for Humphrey the Hippo to hit the Blog!William showing of and running around the garden. He is sleeping in the stable with the horses and is no doubt going threw a slight identity crises- horse, dog, human, cat what am I????

Big Bird!

A large flock of spurwing geese have been feeding on our flood plane so we decided to charge rent! I took out a fantastic huge guy and then another young one. There are plenty more birds and lots and lots of hungry staff!
