Python Eats Bushbuck

May 6, 2010

Two of our guests were strolling along the walkway between Granite and Varty camp when they saw a female bushbuck staring intently at the slated bridge. The bushbuck was distressed and decidedly nervous about something. On closer inspection, the scaled patterns from the python twitched, breaking its camouflage and revealing the massive bulbous mass ingested within. Much to the distress of the mother, the python had caught and eaten an entire baby bushbuck. To view the full post and picture click on the heading above.

The Elixir of Nature

March 8, 2010

I love this wisdom that Jerry has. Nature has imparted some of her best secrets on this friend of mine It is part of the reason that Jerry is such a warm and wonderful person, unflappably gentle with everything and with a permanent smile that eminates from deep within his being. His closeness with nature has enabled him to cope with changes in his life that would have the rest of us running for psychologists and pills.

The Difference between Elephants and Humans

January 26, 2010

Elephants do not have a choice about the impact of their existence. They destroy plants and trees for things that could be of benefit, trample water sources into muddy pools and create long winding trails that stamp out any form of growth. They do this so that they can function as elephants. They need to eat a large amounts to sustain their nutrition levels, they need to drink massive amounts in order to hydrate themselves and they need to wander so that they can continually find fertile new land on which to impact their change.

How Mating Lions Can Help You Find Your Purpose

January 17, 2010
