Grietjie Private Reserve

[Flutterby]

I take it that drones are allowed in Grietjie?

Dangerous neighbourhood!

Yeah, and getting more serious. Last night we had an Hyaena at the lounge window.

When I spotted this Bushbuck I got out of the car and followed him on foot...

The water bucks are lovely

Sprocks!

Is the warthog a Sharks supporter?

...I dont think Sabi Sands , Timbavati , Klaserie, Olifants River Private Game reserve would allow it as they are large conservation bodies with very strict rules for owners..However it seems that crowded places like Ingwelala, Marloth and Ngwenya (Grietjie??) its anything goes ..My take is if a particular 'reserve' is part of Greater Kruger then its a NO NO of note ..Wildlife Ethics 101...Put another way if I had a little place in Grietjie and I became aware of Drone flying other than an Anti Poaching sortie I would take it up with 'Management' right away and if that didnt work both barrels of a 12 bore with Buckshot No 3 would...a new version of 'the Lowveld Clay Pigeon Shooting Club'

What ever you say! But, just please get your facts right before talking crap!

I will try again today to post images, for some reason the system has not been allowing me to post pics, maybe because I fly a drone on my "little" 23 hectare place at Grietjie...
