We returned on Friday evening. These were our visitors on Saturday afternoon. We're back! |
This morning, Miss Kudu was on the road by our house after a pleasant visit after which she wandered down our driveway. What a glorious morning! |
My favorite, "Miss Kudu" didn't waste any time stopping to see us. |
It took a few days for the mongoose to realize we'd returned. Of course, scrambled eggs were on the menu. |
This afternoon we're visiting a new couple we met this morning who are both Marloth Park Honorary Rangers. We'll be preparing an interesting story we'll share in tomorrow's post after we interview them further.
The two "boys" are back with "Little Wart Face" in the background. |
Tom favorite "Little Girl" bushbuck came to see us the first morning we were back from Zambia. |

We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and hear about their lives and, their motivation for living in this magical place. Tom always asks the question, "How did you discover or hear about Marloth Park?
In 2012, shortly after we decided to travel the world I sat in a chair in our family room for nearly 12 hours each day searching for where we'd live in Africa, my dream continent to explore. It was via a photo Louise had posted on her website as shown below.

But, now after speaking with several locals, they say there were two warthogs with holes in their faces, one large and one small. The larger of the two was culled. Scar Face was small so we're hoping it wasn't him.
This bushbuck mom and her baby have been visiting for months. The baby certainly has grown, hasn't she?

It's so easy to get wrapped up with certain animals here in the bush. It's funny how many of us get the same "visitors" and we each have our own names for them. We've been able to interact with many of our "regulars" since we've returned but not Scar Face, Wart Face or Frank so far.
Last night after dark, "Mom, Two Piglets and Auntie" came back to see us along with another boy group of four zebras. |
That's all for today folks! Please check back tomorrow for our new story as mentioned above.
Have a meaningful Monday!
