Hey, Peter! What are all those gadgets?

Less tea, more beer!

There is my silent lamp with Citronella oil to chase the Mossies, Granny's glass case and lots of tea

I must go and search for my pics of no 1 on my external hard drive

Alf was it noisy with the generator on the side of No 1 ...I book No 7 if its a 6 bed as it is close to the fence and 15 if its a 4 bed with its view over the 'OLD' dam ..I just heard from others that 1 and 2 get all the Generator noise hence my choices on the other end????

We stayed there in cottage no 1 during january 2011 and i can't remember if there was any noise from the generator. One very good improvement they made now is to put a normal plug behind the fridge so now you can charge anything inside your cottage and don't have to go to reception to charge camera batteries.

that is the good thing
better than let water go away

Some nights are very quiet at Sirheni ..just the bats calls resonating through the trees , but sometimes the local Hyena clan is working the area at night and they are very vocal..Got this male 1 km from the gate after my early drive coming back to fetch Jane...before going out again to Babalala ...They were noisy throughout the previous night

An afternoon drive along the Middle loop of the S56 and just parking off under a big Nyala Boom and waiting listening to the Brown headed parrots eating above and dropping the remains of the fruit they are eating all around the car from above (It gets quite dirty!! ) but then you are often rewarded with these shy Nyala Bulls feeding on the fallen fruit ..Just love that road ...Sirheni's big attraction

And best of all you have these sightings all to yourself

Thanks for sharing Polentswa

I see they will distroy the concrete dam wall next week. What a shame.

It was badly damaged during the floods of 2013.

Why spend money to repair a dam wall if we can build HOTELS

By that same logic Orpen and Satara webcam troughs must be blown up...and Punda hide waterpoint? Pioneer Dam?
