Nov. 16th GMI

Finally rocked up at The Ghost Mountain Inn at about 21:20 last night having travelled from Birmingham via Vienna (unscheduled diversion), Dubai Copthorne Airport Hotel (unscheduled layover as a result of aforementioned Austrian diversion), Durban - 24 hours late and a drive through pouring rain: unscheduled.
It is now around 6am and I really should be asleep, but I have greeted this morning's rain and liberated a small frog from my bedroom.
I suspect it may have been a rain frog.
Only other identifiable wildlife to date is a giant African land snail, which I do have a picture of. It certainly looks considerably happier than I did last night.
And, to be fair, the view from my room's OK:

The rain did stop eventually. A full, windy day's drive in uMkhuze yielded:
Big 5 - 0
Little 5 - 1
Ugly 5 - 2
And quite a lot of birds.
White backed vultures - 1 (or more) of The Ugly 5
A giraffe bull showing off his ossicones
An impala ram posing for the camera. He wasn't the only one:
Hadeda ibis
Leopard tortoise making use of the rain
And a zebra crossing

Volunteering with Wildlife ACT - am I too old?

By way of explanation, here is a run down/some answers related to the group I’ve been asked to write this piece for: Here is why it was formed (quote from the founder): “ Simon and I were working in the field as wildlife monitors, monitoring wild dog and black rhino respectively. We realised that there was a need within the provincial parks of KwaZulu-Natal to have dedicated wildlife monitors assisting the conservation managers with the daily monitoring of their endangered priority species. All too often researchers had to be relied upon to collect this valuable information, yet not always being able to provide managers with what they were looking for. So, we developed self-funded Management Orientated Monitoring Systems for these parks, with the conservation managers in mind. ” He also points out that “ As the population continues to grow and the economy in most of Africa weakens, our protected areas are becoming extremely fragile. Conservation priorities continue to b
