Muntulu Bush Lodge overlooking a stream and
woodland in the Hluhluwe Section of HIP. [Six
double en-suite bed rooms].
Many bird species and Bush babies [Lesser galago]
take residence around the lodges and camps. Bush
baby maybe heard at night when they come out to
feed on insects attracted to lights. Bush pig and
Hyena are frequent visitors and should be treated
with caution. Wart hog families are day visitors
attracted to camp environment.
Pelicans in the early morning. Probably preparing
for their flight to the St Lucia estuary where they
feed for most of the day before returning to their
roosting grounds.
Day drive along planned routes and to game
viewing hides.
Typical dining area at a large bush camp.
Some photographic records of game viewing
experiences.
Early morning drive, started at dawn.
Bateleur eagle [juggler of the sky] is becoming
threatened as a result of habitat loss. When the sun
is up the Bateleur soars the thermals in search of
food. It is normally the first to find a kill and is
followed by vultures.
Zebra, early morning, en route from Muntulu to
Masinda.
Zebra occur in small herds of from 4 to about 12
animals. They prefer open grasslands and are often
seen in the company of wildebeest.
Vultures at the remains of a rhino carcass at Nylazi
lookout point.
