Not sure about Skukuza tents, but Tamboti tents have the normal size fridges.

Saw pics of tents on the other side and the fridges are the same as all over park.

Seen in the Skukuza Staff Village this morning. (No photographer was named.)

Predators often come in visiting!

Tell me about it, we went for a sunset drive and returned after dark.
I embarked from the car, closed the gate and met my host halfway up
the garden path,..when he moaned about something close by,....

, he jumped trying to seat himself on another vehicles bonnet,
not managing and fell to the ground moaning!!! There was much foul
vocab flying about, while I assisted as we hobbled along in haste heading
for the back door of the house.

There was much consternation in that house once we realized that we
were trapped inside!!! Now this friend of mine was known for applying
a bit of drama to unusual life experience, yet somehow it did not remove
the x factor from the equation!!!

There was something roaming in the garden and now locked in, for I closed
the gate!! Now what???? It was a corner stand in the village!! The front door
some 6 meters away from the visitors gate, the back door, some 40 metres
away from the farm gate(vehicle). There was a wild animal within
these surroundings, Trapped!!!

We had a huge problem, a host incapacitated with a throbbing ankle, not
readily keen to walk the gauntlet toward a gate!!

Between the 4 of us and all lighting at hand and lotsa verbal communicating
we managed to establish the animals movements!! It was moving around the
house in a clockwise condition, with our luck, against the back of the little
gate that opened clockwise as well, around and around and around,.
it went!!!!


We timed it's movements and I was placed at the far end of the house, kitchen
area where I could see the animal appear just after passing the little gate!!
Poor animal unaware that it was passing a opening closed!

Luck had it from my point of view, the animal exhausted and standing still for
a while when I could prompt my host in hobbling/limping along to dash for the
gate and in so doing open it.

We then all went to the kitchen window where we scared the animal into a anti
clockwise condition!!! It worked!!!

nice ........

What animal was it?

Probably a mouse or something?
