Best wishes for you and your tusker firends for 2014

RP,
The bull on the H10 is I think Zambhala and the cow looks very much like MaMerle (I guess you have seen Zambhala between Lower Sabie and Tshokwane?)
Pics are always welcome , maybe I can see some details.

@ ALL

TUSKER AWARDS/REWARDS

To promote the search for (New) Tuskers in South Africa I like to announce Awards and Rewards for 2014

Rules: no rules and difficult polls and systems, just your attention for Tuskers in south-african parks. If you found one (ore more) post them here or ask for others to help posting here or send them to me so I can post them for you.
New Tuskers is one category, best entries (pictures) for already named tuskers is the second category. Only pictures made in 2014 are valid for the awards / rewards (yes, the only rule

)

Awards: For both catagories I will make a top ten list of the photographers at the end of the year
Rewards: Don't expect free flights, new cars or something like that. I am thinking of large format posters of Tuskers and / or Calendars for 2015 based on Tusker pictures.

Please understand the goal is extra attention for the gentle giants and keeping the tusker site up-to-date to record the tuskers we like so much and building up a nice history about them.

(I asked the "board" for permission to do this and I am happy they appreciate the initiative)

Regards,
Aat

I think the "board" have less red tape, aat!

A great initiative!

A great idea Aat , and certainly a nice " friendly " initiative

.
We will be visiting KNP in May , and I look forward to hunting down those big boys . So far I have had " meetings " with 7 or 8 of your named tuckers , including introducing a new one ( Mavatsani ) , and every time it was a memorable experience $O\/$
I certainly hope that 2014 will be an outstanding year for you and Elly , and your Tusker site $\O$ $\O$
