Oh YES !! sure that? I can't belive it !!
But, when you say "other game parks", please, can you tell me in which other African parks animals are trained to stand alone??? Thi is not what I was asking..... Albert F. :-( "jona" escribió en el mensaje eenews.net... "Albert F." wrote in message s... Hi, just comming from Tanzania and visiting Seregeti and Ngoro-ngoro crater... one of the worst game parks I've ever seen. Nothing to see. Expected top Africa's park, but... only couple of old elephants, some zebras anb wildbest... but nothing more. Does anyone knows what's happening there? :-? Unlike all other game parks, the Ngoro-Ngoro animals have not been trained to stand alongside the road and pose for your viewing pleasure. |

Which game parks did you visit?
Do you really want all the list? I've traveling among Africas gameparks every year since 1992, so I've seen in some of them in Tanzania, Kenia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia..... That's why I found Ngoro-ngoro so disapointig. You will see more there, then on the Ramblas I suppose? Yes !! plenty of ****ing tourists moving as herds of wildbeest, most of them don't know what are they looking or where they are... may be you have been in Barcelona???? But they spend nice money in the city, specially in beers.... fortunately not all the turists only visit "las ramblas". Ever heard about that the game moves into the forests to graze, look for shade etc.? Oh YES ??? SURE ????? I always think they were made on plastic !!! Thanhks for your information !!!!! Please, don't keep in touch... Sure !!!! first words I'm gree with you. Corné. www.amukela.com Nice place, a game park with tar road...... ummmmm nice indeed. |

That's why I found Ngoro-ngoro so disapointig. Well, if you are disapointed when seeing the old elephants of the Crater, then I wander what the reasons for your visits were in the list of game parks in Tanzania, Kenia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia.... Ever heard about that the game moves into the forests to graze, look for shade etc.? Oh YES ??? SURE ????? I always think they were made on plastic !!! Thanhks for your information !!!!! (Voice at Fawlty Towers of Basil's wife regarding Manuel strange behaviour) "..... he is from Barcelona....." HAHAHA!! Please, don't keep in touch... Sure !!!! first words I'm gree with you. Please again, don't keep in touch.... Corné. www.amukela.com Nice place, a game park with tar road...... ummmmm nice indeed. Tar Road? Where is the tar road in our park? (Wish we had one, like in the Kruger!). |

Albert, Albert, My apologies if my sarcastic attempt at some humour went way above your head. I assure you, I most certainly *did* understand the question and merely tried to inform you that in all probability, all you had was a "bad hair day" in game park terms. It was not my intention to offend you. Cheers Jona |

Yea, the question was understood. OK Mr. Serious: I've just returned from Zambia via the Caprivi and along the tar road are numerous beware signboards stating "elephants crossing". I didn't see any, so could you tell me what's happening there too ? Oh wait, the answer is ...... Ag, nevermind. |

The next one of what????? Corné.
As Jona said, maybe I’m a bit to serious in my answer but as an overland guide with over ten years experience I see to many smart assess who think they know the bush after travelling for some weeks a year to Africa. Please don’t say that it’s time to quit the job. This is not what it is about. There are too many good things to enjoy. But the people I mean are the biggest pain in the ass. Still can live with that. The thing that’s the most annoying is that Corné (with his little advertisements in the group) gives these stoning answers. He is living in the bush and is giving these answers to the World? “Please, don't keep in touch...” is the arrogance in its self. And at the same time he is promoting his self. How …. can you be? People are not that stupid Corné. Be sure Corné I won’t promote your kind. But surely you have lost some clients now, now that you tell your clients to be that wildebeest are moving to the forest to graze. Still can't get the smile of my face. If there is one animal that is living on the plains and woodland than it is the wildebeest. Even in the Crater, Corné. You’ve ever been there (I question) and visited the Forest? Lona, About Zambia and the Caprivi signboards. I think and hope you know the answer yourself. Gerald Quote:

Dear Gerald,
thanks for your contribution. "I see to many smart assess who think they know the bush after travelling for some weeks a year to Africa. " My conclusions are that you look every day in the mirror? Yep Gerald, beeing 10 years driving around in Africa makes some people for sure arrogant. Like the initial response: ' smartass answers ' .... how can we be so stupid? Knowing that you have all the NON-smartass answers...!! Remember next time we might even e-mail you our reactions, so you can decide which ones are too 'smartass answers' and will not be publiced. The thing that's the most annoying is that Corné (with his little advertisements in the group) gives these stoning answers. He is living in the bush and is giving these answers to the World? The most annoying are the shallow visions of overland guides. They have seen the light apparantley.....But somewhere they seem to be a bit frustrated, or pehaps they don't have the knowledge (and guts) to settle down in the bush? "Please, don't keep in touch..." is the arrogance in its self. And at the same time he is promoting his self. How .. can you be? People are not that stupid Corné. Reading is difficult sometimes, isn't? This was just a reaction to the original authors signature, who wrote 'Please, don't keep in touch..." Indeed it is arrogant, but that's what I wanted to make clear here. Be sure Corné I won't promote your kind. Damn!! And I need your promotion activities so hard....Well I think I can close down my lodge now..... But surely you have lost some clients now, now that you tell your clients to be that wildebeest are moving to the forest to graze. Remember I am not running some backpackerslodge.... Why do you think I have lost some clients now? Sure if it is about the knowledge of Africa they will come with you Gerald. Aha? Now you are even telling lies? I cannot remember that I wrote something stupid like wildebeest moving to the forests to graze....?? But Gerarld, that is clearly your style of doing things. This is EXACTLY what I wrote: " Ever heard about that the game moves into the forests to graze, look for shade etc.?" But you are not really interested in the truth apparantly.... just your one truth. Still can't get the smile of my face. If there is one animal that is living on the plains and woodland than it is the wildebeest. Even in the Crater, Corné. You've ever been there (I question) and visited the Forest? Well, here is my point again: if people don't appreciate sightings of (one of the biggest) bull elephants in the Forest of the Crater, then what the heck are they doing there? Keep smiling Gerald, hope you have a nice and adventureous live! With a big smile and a cold black lable... Corné. Amukela Game Lodge. www.amukela.com Oh yeah.... 1997 first visit to the Crater. Did you ever read Grzimek's book? Or is your reading limited to Playboy...(nights can be lonely Gerald, especially overland guides...haha....).

Well Chobe in Botswana and etosha in namibia are at pare with Kruger I was pretty underwhelmed by Etosha, in terms of the numbers of animals, but maybe July is a poor time to visit - it certainly seemed to be for birds (southern winter) - or maybe July 2003 was less great than usual. It was very difficult to decide whether to stay at a waterhole for some time (we waited over two hours at one and saw only a couple of Springbok) or whether to keep moving on to try others - the best one 'on the day' was the one which my guidebook said was "poor for sightings"! Equally, and I can't say from experience, maybe recently in Ngorongoro was less good than usual: as has already been suggested on this thread, there can be a lot of variety not only between months but from year to year, usually linked to weather conditions. In only two July days in the Ngorongoro crater (way back in 1998, but I haven't read anywhere else of a worsening pattern of sightings; our visit was just after an El Nino event) we saw: Mammals African Elephant Black Rhinocerous Black-backed Jackal Black-faced Vervet Cape Buffalo Coke's Hartebeest Common Zebra Defassa Waterbuck Golden Jackal Grant's Gazelle Hippopotamus Lion Spotted Hyaena Thomson's Gazelle Warthog Wildebeest Birds African Hoopoe African Marsh Harrier Anteater Chat Augur Buzzard Avocet Black Crake Black Kite Black-bellied Bustard Black-headed Heron Black-winged Stilt Blacksmith Plover Blue-eared Starling Cape Teal Capped Wheatear Cattle Egret Common Bulbul Common Moorhen Common Ostrich Crested Guineafowl Crowned Plover Egyptian Goose Fan-tailed Widow-bird Fiscal Shrike Fischer's Sparrow Lark Greater Flamingo Greater Painted-Snipe Grey Crowned-Crane Grey-headed Gull Grey-rumped Swallow Hamerkop Helmeted Guineafowl Hildebrandt's Starling Hottentot Teal Jackson's Francolin Kittlitz's Plover Kori Bustard Lappet-faced Vulture Lesser Flamingo Little Bee-eater Little Grebe Little Swift Montagu's Harrier Pied Avocet Red-billed Duck Red-billed Firefinch Red-billed Oxpecker Red-capped Lark Red-eyed Dove Red-winged Bush-lark Red-winged Starling Rufous-tailed Weaver Sacred Ibis Schalow's Wheatear Secretary Bird Speckled Mousebird Speckled Pigeon Superb Starling Tawny Eagle Three-Banded Plover Whiskered Tern Wattled Starling White-backed Vulture White-browed Coucal White-naped Raven Yellow-billed Egret Plus two enormous, entwined, African Pythons.

Hmmm, sorry Corné. Didn’t know you were this sick.
Some looks at other postings from you did give me the diagnose I need. Obvious Amukela is infected with its owner and there isn’t a cure. Yes, there’s one. Recommend the World to let Amukela and its owner out of any itinerary. Rest my case Gerald Quote:
