I went to Kruger National Park in October, 2006. Stayed outside the park, in Marloth Park, near the Crocodile Bridge Gate. I spent about four days on game drives with a guide from the guest lodge. Entered the Kruger mostly at the Crocodile Bridge Gate and exited there or at the Malelane Gate. Loved it so much! Afterwards, I drove south through Swaziland and went scuba diving at Sodwana Bay for a couple of days too. I hope to go back in late 2009 and dive at Aliwal Shoal and Sodwana again, and see Cape Town. Of course, I'll go to Kruger again as well. Most of my pictures are at the website below:
Hi John,
Love how you did your page! Great profile pic... one of the best I've seen!
Yes, the flamingo was in Aruba. We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel and they have a private beach that is only accessible by boat. The island had flamingos, iguanas and lots of little critters.
It was very exciting to see the two big male leopards on Monday morning. Amazing that we can watch them live from so far away. Thanks again to the WE staff and crew!
Welcome to WildEarth.TV, John. We're glad you've joined the WE.TV community. How fortunate you are to have experienced Africa! Hope you will share your experience. I can only dream... I catch the drives when I can on weekends and really do miss them during the week.
Welcome to WE.TV John...What an exciting time you must have had visiting Kruger Park...Would love to hear about your trip sometime...I have just visited your myspace page..great pics..thank you for sharing...:)
We have finally managed to get our live broadcast from Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre working. Well there are a few problems with tree branches moving in front of the antenna which means the screen freezes every now and then but we can't chop out trees just for this broadcast. Having said that we have a plan to improve it and in the meantime we are getting some great day and night video of vultures, hyena and jackal to name just three species. Enjoy.
We've been hoping to find someone to help with our social networking in the USA for a while, then along came Deb Weston. Deb has been a supporter of the ILP for quite a while and came over to meet the team in Africa a few weeks ago. I'm pleased to announce that Deb has graciously offered to assist with social networking and fund raising for the ILP in the USA. So if you are in the USA, get in touch with Deb and let her know you are out there and care for the plight of wild leopards.
As most of you know, Kirsty Lynas has been working hard on social networking for the ILP in the UK ever since she finished her five month spell as a volunteer with us earlier this year.
Kirsty is continuing to work for us from the UK and co-ordinating with Deb who will cover the USA. Kirsty is also now managing the ILP membership scheme. All of those who have joined so far will be able to receive insider knowledge from Kirsty on a regular basis.
On that front, we need more folks to join the ILP membership scheme and soon, if we are to have any chance of saving the lives of Leopards. Sound dramatic? Well, a leopard was illegally shot this week and we were unable to prevent it.
That's one less leopard in the rapidly diminishing gene pool. If we all don't act soon there will be no leopards left in wild area's. That's no idle statement, our model shows a huge decline in the wild population. The genetic tipping point will come very soon, after which there will be no recovery. Please join the ILP membership scheme, we need your help.
