Location: 50 kilometers from Nelson Mandela Bay, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Take N2 in direction of Grahamstown.  Just past Blue Water Bay, take the turn-off to Addo.  Kudu Ridge is approximately 22 kilometers before the village of Addo on the left hand side of the road.

Date Visited: 8 – 10 June 2012 (Winter)

Accommodation: We stayed in comfortable safari tents.  Kudu Ridge also offers chalet accommodation.  The tents are neatly furnished and each tent have its own bathroom with shower, as well as coffee-making area veranda.

What we Drove: The Jeep Wrangler from Maritime Motors

What we did: We lounged, talked, read, drove through Addo Elephant National Park enjoyed the company of friends family.

Recommendation: Kudu Ridge is very well positioned in proximity to the Addo Elephant National Park.  It is well suited for a relaxed family weekend and perfect for conferencing or team building in groups of forty or less.  There is no ‘self-catering’ option, which is nice, since Brian Jenny create wonderful food and not having dishes or clean up is part of the fun of spending time at Kudu Ridge.

Tribe Special: Mention the ‘Traveling Tribe’ claim free accommodation meals for your own children under the age of twelve for a 2-night stay, for a family of minimum two adults, until the end of August 2012.

We met the Stevnsons at the corner of Westmead Old Seaview Road.

It was just after two on this cold winter’s afternoon.

We’d been looking forward to this weekend.  For both our families it would be a weekend of firsts.  Our first time to travel together.  our first time to stay in safari-tent accommodation.

Our children were ecstatic.  They were looking forward to the opportunity to spend a whole weekend with Gary Jane’s daughter.

Our worlds are somewhat different.

Ashleigh is schooled at one of our city’s well-known private schools.  Our children find education under Zuko’s guidance in the privacy of our little wooden house on the not so little hill.

Gary Jane both run their own companies.

Gary runs Organic Footprint.

Jane runs with Jane Stevenson Associates.

I do radio Zuko, when she’s not guiding our four children in the world of discovering knowledge insight, takes pictures.

Even though our worlds are somewhat different, our values or what we value is surprisingly similar.

This is something I’ve noticed more more.  People finding each other in what they value not so much in where they come from or how they would be defined in archaic social terms.

We all value our children’s education.

We give expression to this in different ways, but our high regard for the education our children receive our willingness to adjust our lifestyle, so that an exceptional education may be had, is something we share.

As is a love for our environment.

An awareness of how contaminated life living could be.

Of how central relationship is to our being joy.

How often this is less than what we hoped for yet exceptional and surprising in other ways.

We all believe fiercely, but despise cheap lip-service empty religiousness.

Or so we see our friends experience them this weekend as we talk share discover throughout this weekend at Kudu Ridge.

That is the wonderfulness of spending time with friends family in a place which is not familiar.

It is as if, in a new space, we are more relaxed, more willing to share and be honest intimate.

It is only three in the afternoon as we arrive at Kudu Ridge.

The Jeep Wrangler which Vaughan hand-picked for us from his sales floor for this weekend, was an easy comfortable drive.  The powerful 3.8 liter engine accelerating easily.   The automatic gearbox shifting almost unnoticed on a very short drive to a very lovely destination.

Brian Jenny gives us a warm welcome.

They show us to our safari-tents allow us to settle in.

We meet up at the main lodge area where we find steaming hot coffee a warm fire.

Brian explains the menu for the evening.

Butternut Soup freshly baked bread.

Kudu Fillet with hand-cut chips fresh vegetables and salad.

Ice cream chocolate sauce is desert.

The afternoon dwindles into evening.

We discover that coming to Kudu Ridge is returning to his first love for Brian his family.

They’d been here no more than a year.

He spent years in the corporate world.

Before that he was a game-rangers for the Natal Parks Board.

That is what his heart hankered after winter after cold winter spent in offices board rooms.

Now they spend time in nature.

Entertaining guests.

Growing their flock of antelope.

Over supper we talk of the joy Brian Jenny find in their refound passion.

The evening is cold, but the conversation is warm.

It is evident that this couple hope to come alongside corporates companies as they create a fresh environment in which people can rediscover themselves, unwind, dream plan.

‘What we have to offer, is a completely new environment, a place where people can get in touch with who they really are,’ he explains as we enjoy desert.

Then it is off to bed.

Our first night in our safari-tented accommodation.

The kids are tired.

Andrew, Brian Jenny’s son who shares this dream with them, took the children for a discovery walk in the late afternoon.  Then they fed the latest addition to the Kudu Ridge Family.  A baby owl who was rescued is being hand raised by the falconer who hopes to establish an activity with falcons a very interesting pointer which he is training.

‘Soon we’ll be able to hunt with the pointer a falcon.  Man, bird dog in the perfect collaboration.  Perhaps it would unlock something in people’s minds of how we can collaborate in the workplace in families.

In their family collaboration is certainly the norm.

The meal is cooked together.  The guests are cared for alongside each other.

Saturday morning is slow easy.

We hide from the cold in the warmth of our safari-tents.

Pippin makes coffee.

Zuko I talk.

Of what we hope for.

What we dream of.

Then a hearty breakfast welcomes us in the dining room.

As we eat we decide to drive to the Addo Elephant National Park for the day.

Brian unfolds a map shows us where he believes we’ll spot the lion the elephant the buffalo.

We enjoy a last cup of coffee then we’re off.

We huddle together in the Jeep Wrangler.  It is no fun to go wildlife spotting in separate vehicles.

The girls jump in the back.

Zuko Jane take the back-seat with Maddi Theunsie.

Gary I take shotgun driver’s position.

10 minutes later we’re in the park.

Despite the weather we see herds of elephant, Kudu, Zebra, Blesbok, Hartebeest Blesbok.

A black backed jackal surprises us a secretary bird takes notes on our arrival.

The drive is easy comfortable.

The Jeep Wrangler as at home on tar as it is on gravel.

We stop for a late lunch at the Park’s Tiger’s Eye Restaurant.

Every time I stop here, I am surprised by the quality of service.  The excellence of the well-trained staff their friendliness knowledgeably.

I am also astounded by the effort investment we make as a country into conservation.

And I am proud to be an African in general a South African in particular.

It inspires hope.

If we can get this right (conservation tourism), then there is hope that we might get the other things right as well.

If only we would believe it.

Dream it.

Reach for it.

Imagine a South Africa in which our education healthcare resembled the same excellence so very evident on this Saturday afternoon in one of our National Parks?

Gary orders a venison hotpot.

Jane takes the fish of the day.

Zuko chooses a vegetarian wrap I go for the Thai Chicken Salad.

The children enjoy chicken nuggets.

We eat slowly.

Talking.  Remembering.  Sharing the moment.

We’re in no hurry.  Kudu Ridge is a few minutes away.

We resolve to take an afternoon nap as we get home we take our resolve seriously as the Jeep Wrangler brings us home to our weekend-destination, each family heading off to their respective tents.

The hunger for time together and conversation is too strong though moments later we’re together again at the warmth of the fire at the lodge-area.

Conversation is easy.

We talk of how we came to where we are.

Of what we face from day-to-day.

Of what we hope for, dream of, for our own tomorrow.

The optimism in our circle makes me smile.

Where there is hope, there is hope.

That we would still be journeying.

That we may even one day find our dream a reality, as Brian Jenny found it at Kudu Ridge.

The afternoon becomes evening.

Supper is served.

The children play pool darts, hide-and-seek and truth-or-dare.

Theunsie beats me at a game of pool.

Then his mom.

At the dinner table we share stories from our lives.

Beautiful stories of exquisite experiences.

In the silence of a moment I think about how no one is talking about what they own.  Everyone is talking about what they shared.  A moment.  An emotion.  A disappointment.  A breakthrough.

Perhaps we need to hang on to that more tightly.

That it is in moments shared that life exists.

It is late cold when we head to bed.

The rain pours down throughout the night, but we sleep warm dry in our safari-tents.

Even Maddi only wakes once for a midnight feast.

And then it is Sunday.

The day I always dread, for it signals the end of another journey.

And it always comes too soon.

Breakfast is intentionally slow this morning. Brian Jenny Andrew act like old friends who do not want their loved ones to go just yet.

The sun is out for the first time this weekend.

After breakfast we take a game drive on Kudu Ridge.

They show us the ‘Bus Bar’ created by Andrew.  The excavation area where fossils were found.  A Kudu some Impala greet us on a clearing.

Brian talks with love of this wonderous new place they are transforming into a getaway for corporates families as we drive along the ridge.

Then it is time to pack greet.

Ashleigh still has a project to finish.

Zuko wants to stop at her parent’s before we go home.

We say our goodbyes.

And as we drive off in the Jeep Wrangler I remember moments shared I hope for more.

More moments.

Of honesty.

And intimacy.

For it is in moments shared that life unfolds.

Of course, the highlight of the park are the elephants that roam freely in the reserve. They usually congregate in water holes, such as the one above.

We exited the Addo National Park after around an hour. We were told that we were to go to the next game reserve, the Tooth and Claw Safari which featured, of course, the predators. On the way, we stopped by this lovely store, the Nanaga Farm Stall.

The Nanaga Farm Stall sold a lot of goods, from jams, to bread, to wine and a whole lot of snacks.

But I was most intrigued by their bread. I forgot what it was called, but think of it as soft bread or long pandesals with butter filling. They were served fresh from the oven. Yummy indeed!

We then entered the Tooth and Claw Safari at the Schotia game reserve beside the Addo Elephant National Park. You see, game reserves are like open zoos. They are fenced sot hat the animals cannot get out. Hence, they stay inside acres of land grazing back and forth within the confines of the reserve.

The Schotia Tooth and Claw Safari commences late int he afternoon, since most of the predators hunt at dusk. As we’ve been told, predators such as lions prefer to stay in the shade when it’s hot. Thus, they don’t hunt.

There were more wildlife in Schotia, but it was a smaller game reserve. Probably because of the smaller size, the animals were concentrated more in particular areas, hence we could see more of them.

We were the first to spot the rhinos, which our guide hunted for in the entire park. The rhinos are really a sight to see, as they were bigger than I expected. We were told to stay still, as the rhinos get disturbed easily.

After getting up close with the rhinos, we entered their rest house in another secured area. Here, coffee, hot chocolate, juices and pastries were served.

And it wasn’t just one, but 4 giraffes moving towards us in a relaxing trek across the hillside. We stopped for a few minutes to see some of the giraffes eat from a tree. We got close again, but the giraffes tend to move away whenever we would go near.

We then got a message from the radio that we should move to the central plains for probably, the only reason why the Schotia Tooth and Claw safari is popular.

And as we descended, the hillside, we didn’t need to look for it. The king of the jungle approached us in a very exciting scene.

It was a nice scene, and we spent a good 30 minutes there, watching the cubs feed on their mom. There was also another male lion who woke up from his sleep and stared at us, while we took pictures. The animals seem tame, but we still told to behave properly.

The Schotia Tooth and Claw Safari actually ends after the sun has set, because the second part of the tour is a night safari. I wasn’t able to take pictures though because there wasn’t any light, except for the powerful light beam from the vehicle. We didn’t see much as well, though one of the lions passed us by again on the way back.

This Combo combines the best of Eastern Cape Big Five safaris: the large herds of elephant and buffalo found in Addo and the superb predator and rhino sightings at Lalibela.

A few months into my Australia travels I journeyed over to Bali, whilst there I had the opportunity to ride a Sumatran elephant.

I absolutely adore elephants, and this is not the first time I’ve been able to get up close to these loving creatures. My first encounter was at an animal sanctuary in Spain – Rio Safari, where I got to sit on an Indian Elephant’s back. I think from the way it nuzzled it’s trunk against my shoulder, neck and cheek as I got close may have been a sign it liked me too.

Indian elephant at Rio Safari

During my Bali trip I got to actually ride on an elephant, on a seat upon it’s back. Sumatran elephants are sub-species of Asian Elephant. Asian elephants are categorized by a twin domed head with an indent in the middle, and long and tapered lower lips. They differ from African elephant in height (African elephant bulls growmup to 4m tall whereas the biggest Asian males reach no more than 3.5m) and ear shape and size (African elephants have much larger ears). As of the 23^rd of January this year the Sumatran elephant’s status was moved to critically endangered due to loss of habitation.

Sumatran Elephant in Bali

There is a clear difference from the powerful gigantic African elephants. Whilst volunteering at Shamwari I was able to spend a day at the nearby Addo Elephant Safari where we got to feed and ride the elephants (although in this case with no seat, sitting bareback with a guide behind me. I was surprised to find that the elephants have sharp, coarse hairs growing from their backs, which were sharp enough to penetrate my trouser leg and spike me!

African Elephant at Addo Elephant Park

The elephants were all so gentle and it’s sad to think how endangered they are. Born Free have an elephant campaign and explain on their website (http://www.bornfree.org.uk/campaigns/elephants/):

“Born Free’s Elephant project was set up in 1989 when reports showed 200 elephants a day were being slaughtered for ivory.  Today it fights the ivory trade in Africa and Asia and campaigns against captivity.“

Born Free’s Elephant Project:

• Protects wild elephants and their habitat
• Fights the brutal ivory trade
• Exposes the plight of captive elephants
• Helps care for rescued elephants

Born Free Elephant Achievements:

• Huge campaign and press coverage helped ensure an international ivory trade ban (1989); our 1.9 million name petition ensured it was upheld (1992)
• Support of the world’s longest wild elephant study, by Cynthia Moss, Amboseli National Park, Kenya (since 1992)
• The Ele-Truck mobile vehicle repair unit to maintain anti-poaching patrol unit vehicles in Africa (1990)
• The East 17 elephant translocation vehicle, moving elephants from areas of conflict to safe havens within Kenya (1995)
• The return of Nina the elephant to the wild, supported by Martin Clunes and watched by 13 million BBC viewers (1997)
• Kenya’s largest ever elephant relocation, moving 29 threatened animals to a new home (2000)
• Successfully campaigning to stop London Zoo keeping elephants, ending a 172-year era (2003)
• Publishing ‘Tip of the Tusk’, one of the most comprehensive complilations of elephant poaching and ivory smuggling data (2004)

Every year, thousands of tourists flock through the gates to observe the wildlife that have made themselves at home in the largest elephant sanctuary in the world. Many visitors pop into the Addo Elephant Park en route to other destinations while others choose to stay in Addo Guest House Accommodation that enables them to have an even fuller experience in the park.

When going on holiday, many of us enjoy the luxury of being pampered by spa and beauty treatments. Finding the time for being pampered during the work week or during our action packed weekends is often difficult and even stressful; however, while on holiday we can finally kick back and indulge in beauty treatments and letting go of all tension. Many lodges in game reserves even go as far as to install gyms for their guests to enjoy as many guests enjoy keeping fit while on vacation.
While staying in Addo guest house accommodation you’ll be informed about the interesting activities and attractions in the surrounding areas of the park.

You may be disheartened by the decline in temperatures and that getting up happens in the dark. Some may even go as far as saying that this is the worst time of year. But not for gaming viewing. In fact, winter is said to be the best time of year to go on a safari in Africa. In the game-rich areas of the Southern and East Africa, the start of winter means the end of the wet season, and that means that the bush is thinner, the roads are accessible, and the wild animals in our game parks are the easiest to spot.

Also, in these areas it gets mild (sometimes even warm) during the day, providing pleasant temperatures for game drives. So to get you inspired for your winter safari break, here are the top places to go wildlife-viewing for both luxury-orientated and budget-conscious travellers.

You can book all these camps and lodges through Getaway Accommodation.

Addo Elephant National Park is most famous for its conservation of the last remaining wild elephants in the Eastern Cape. A few hundred years ago there were thousands of the earth’s largest land mammal in this area of South Africa, as well as plenty of other wildlife like lions, leopards, rhinos, buffaloes and springbok. But rapid colonial expansion after 1820 meant most of this diverse landscape was transformed into dairy farms and citrus fruit estates.

The elephants had a penchant for oranges in particular, and understandably they couldn’t resist raiding the farmers’ crops.  The farmers got fed up, and put pressure on the government to sort out the problem. The first solution was predictable – for the times. The Administrator of the Cape Province – Sir Frederick de Waal – started paying hunters to exterminate the elephants.

In particular, a certain bloodthirsty Major Pretorius shot 120 elephants in his first eleven months in the Addo area. During one hunt, according to the archives, he was ‘once forced to lame an elephant by shooting it through the vertebral column, then like lightning he jumped on the beast’s back, ran to its head and killed it with a shot through the neck.’ In another instance Pretorius shot 16 elephants within 30 seconds – or so his journal records.

Eventually, after decades of hunting and harassment, the remaining elephants – just 11 of them in the whole region – retreated to the almost impenetrable thicket of the Addo region, where hunters and humans couldn’t reach them. Yet they still made their forays into the farmers’ fields at night to raid the crops.

By that stage fortunately, the public had woken up to the tragedy, and quickly there were calls for the establishment of a reserve. In 1931, the national park was proclaimed, extending just over 2000 hectares. However, the reserve wasn’t fenced, so the big animals still posed a problem, frequently moving onto farm lands.

The reserve’s ranger Harold Trollope wrote in 1931 how farmers and their staff still tried to kill the elephants: ‘Farmers in some instances fired at the elephants on sight often wounding them and supplied boys with rifles giving instructions that they were to shoot any elephant they came across, and that these orders were carried out. The elephants were shot at in a most cowardly manner, from safe distances, as for instance across a kloof, but never at close quarters, and were it not for the protection offered by…the difficult bush, the Addo elephants would not have existed today.’

Elephants in Addo are accustomed to vehicles, unlike in the past

Trollope succeeded in driving the remaining elephants into the area marked for the reserve, and for the most part he and his team of park rangers managed to keep them safe. But the elephants had to wait until 1951 for complete sanctuary from the guns of farmers.

At that stage, the reserve’s ranger Graham Armstrong had devised a unique type of fence constructed of railway sleepers sunk several feet into the ground, and attached to these were old wire cables supplied free-of-charge by the Otis lift company in Port Elizabeth. This design proved so effective that eventually the entire reserve was fenced off, and the elephants weren’t able to break out – finally, after a few hundred years, both the elephants and people were happy. And today, the Armstrong fence is still used.

Today the Addo Elephant National Park conserves the Big Five, including lions (reintroduced into the area from Kgalagadi, and buffalo, which, unlike the lions, were never exterminated). However, the emphasis has shifted from species conservation towards habitat protection and restoration.  The huge increase in the park’s size from 2 000 hectares to more than 180 000 hectares is indicative of the national trend to conserving “corridors” of biodiversity. (Addo is now the third-largest national park in the country, although Garden Route National Park is not far behind).

Similar to the Baviaanskloof Mega-Reserve and Gouritz Initiative, Addo conserves, by design, a marvelous diversity of natural habitat: stretching from Nama Karoo in the Darlington Dam section in the far north, to fynbos and forest in the mountainous Zuurberg wilderness area, to subtropical thicket in the middle, and finally coastal dune forest and beaches in the Woody Cape section along the coast. This coastal section has the largest sand dune complex in the southern hemisphere, and it also includes a group of offshore islands that protects the largest populations of African penguins and Cape gannets in the world, as well as a sizeable Cape fur seal colony.

All these different habitats are now connected to each other over conserved land, joined together in a contiguous fashion, whereas in the past there were only isolated pieces of protected areas in a vast area that was transformed into monoculture and urban development. (Granted, the national N2 highway still divides the coastal section from the rest of the park).

The reasoning goes that ‘islands’ or ‘pockets’ of nature will eventually die out and become sterile.  Species and habitats need to be connected if they are to survive, thrive and adapt. Especially nowadays with global warming, which is predicted to have a desiccating and heating affect over much of Southern Africa. Unless species can move to other areas, and adapt at the same time, South Africa will lose most of its biological diversity over the next few hundred years or so, with potentially disastrous consequences for humans.

However, as conservation manager John Adendorff told me, even Addo’s 180 000 hectares is not a very big piece of land if one considers the huge amount of urban and agricultural development around the park. ‘It’s a highly managed park, and we monitor animal populations very closely to see how they are impacting on the vegetation.’

An Elephant takes a lunch break

Today there are more than 600 elephants in Addo, at a density of about 2,8 elephants per square kilometre, perhaps the highest in Africa. ‘They’ve got it pretty good here,’ John said smiling. It’s incredible to think that at one stage there were only 11 left in the whole Eastern Cape. Hell has turned into paradise for the ellies.

The only reason that park authorities aren’t more worried about an overpopulation of elephant is because of the thicket biome. It’s a remarkable habitat, and at its core is spekboom, a succulent bush which not only sequestrates as much carbon from the atmosphere as rainforests, but also sustains some of the highest densities of wildlife in the world.

Park manager Norman Johnson tells me that “the elephants now are so successful that they’re becoming a nice problem. At some stage, we’ll need to look at controlling the population.”

But culling is not even considered as one of the options – instead, SANParks are looking to drop more fences between the different sections of the park, allowing the elephants to roam more widely, and also thereby introducing natural stresses into the elephant’s reproduction cycles. By forcing the elephants to roam further for water and food, growth rates in the population should slow down. And then there’s always contraception, which is the next best alternative.

The last few days I’ve had some good sightings of elephant and buffalo, and although it’s been raining a lot, today there was some sunshine.

I’ve had a chance to explore the main sections, where the Big Five hang out, and also the Zuurberg mountain section, where I went for a short horse ride this afternoon with ranger Thembelane Keye. It’s quite amazing to drive twenty odd kilometres from the subtropical heat of the main section, and in no time enter the cool, windy mountains where fynbos and grassland plateaus are the norm. Reminds me of the Baviaanskloof and Gamkaberg Nature Reserve.

Well, that’s a long blog from me today, but I’ve been hibernating from the rain like the rest of the animals here. But now that the rain has stopped, I hope to post more photos and blogs. The sun’s just about to go down, and I’m going to put some kudu wors on my braai. Addo Main Camp is pretty, and the chalets looks over a little valley, where hyenas and jackal seem to hang out at night (I can hear both species calling while I lie in bed).

‘The history of the preservation of the elephants is assuredly an epic in game conservation. In this manner, the bush, clad in hazy myster, is being preserved for future generations as an unspoilt facet on the face of the Masterly creation.’ – The Addo Elephants, A National Parks Board publication (published at a time when this little book cost 50c!)

This Combo combines the best of Eastern Cape Big Five safaris: the large herds of elephant and buffalo found in Addo and the superb predator and rhino sightings at Lalibela.  Add 2 nights at Camp Figtree to a 2-night stay at Lalibela.Camp Figtree (www.campfigtree.com) is a secluded private lodge set high on the stunning Zuurberg mountain range, adjacent to the Addo Elephant National Park.  The camp has breath-taking 270 degree views over the valley onto mountain slopes cloaked with dense indigenous vegetation.  Camp Figtree is a 1920s traditional colonial style camp with corrugated iron roofing and wide, sweeping verandahs.  Each of the spacious suites is uniquely decorated, featuring family antiques, Persian carpets, polished wooden furnishings and objets d’art. The in-house restaurant offers superb cuisine and a well-stocked wine cellar.

During your time at Camp Figtree, you can take part in the following activities:-

• Game Drives – Daily game drives into Addo Elephant National Park with an experienced game ranger in an open game-viewing vehicle.  Addo has a unique place in the story of the struggle to conserve the African elephant.  It is home to the densest population of elephant in the world.  Apart from elephants, other mammals in Addo include lion, the endangered Cape buffalo and black rhino, as well as zebra, jackal, warthog, suricate and numerous species of antelope.
• Elephant Back Safaris – Walk with elephants in their natural environment and even enjoy an elephant ride at nearby Addo Elephant Back Safaris.  Visitors get to view, in intimate proximity, the elephants as they go about their business of walking, feeding and watering in the African bush.
• Horse riding safaris – Addo Elephant National Park also offers horse trails for both experienced riders and beginners.  These trails offer the opportunity to view game at a safe distance from horseback.
• Walking – Go on a sundowner walk following the paths that wander through Camp Figtree’s nature reserve.

Two Addo Elephant National Park buffalo bulls with near record horn spans are expected to attract breeders and reserve owners from throughout Southern Africa to the annual Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees auction.

The biggest has been nick-named “Bismarck,” and has a horn span of 46 inches, while Hercules has one of 45 inches. Both have been captured, and are in a boma at the Addo Elephant National Park, according to auction organiser Johan Swart.

He says new blood and a new date bring a new era to the annual Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees game auction, which is one of the top three wildlife auctions in the country.

For the first 10 years of the Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees, brought to you in association with DSTV in 2012, the auction has been hosted on the Saturday of the festival weekend. This has been moved to the Friday to accommodate out of town bidders – many of whom also want to bring their families to enjoy the many attractions at the Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees, according to auction organiser Johan Swart.

“We have listened to what the industry has told us, and moved the auction a day forward.

“The trend in the industry is to hold auctions on week days.

“This also helps with the movement of the game after it has been bought,” he says.

The auction is one of the few in the country where buyers are able to see the majority of the prize animals, which are kept in bomas for the sale.

This year, around 40 disease-free Add Elephant National Park buffalo will go under the hammer of Brandon Leer of Brandon Leer Auction Services. Leer is widely regarded as one of the best livestock auctioneers in the country, and a specialist in game sales. He will be taking over the hammer from Roy Hayes who handled the auctions for the first 10 years.

“Roy helped put the Kirkwood wildlife auction on the map, and the fact that we could attract an auctioneer with the experience of Brandon is a tribute to the solid foundation Roy built,” says Swart.

Leer was schooled in the Eastern Cape and grew up in the Port Elizabeth area.

Other well-known auctions in which he has been involved include Madikwe, Thaba Tholo, Piet du Toit, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, SANParks auctions in Kimberley and Pretoria, the North West Buffalo Auction at Molemane Eye, the Polokwane Municipality auction, and auctions at the Shamwari and Kwandwe game reserves in the Eastern Cape.

The 2012 Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees runs from June 29 to July 1, and offers a wild weekend for the whole family. Entry fees for the festival on Friday and Sunday are R70 for adults and R35 for children; and R100 for adults and R50 for children on Saturday. Visit www.wildsfess.co.za for more information.

You may be disheartened by the decline in temperatures and that getting up happens in the dark. Some may even go as far as saying that this is the worst time of year. But not for gaming viewing. In fact, winter is said to be the best time of year to go on a safari in Africa. In the game-rich areas of the Southern and East Africa, the start of winter means the end of the wet season, and that means that the bush is thinner, the roads are accessible, and the wild animals in our game parks are the easiest to spot.

Also, in these areas it gets mild (sometimes even warm) during the day, providing pleasant temperatures for game drives. So to get you inspired for your winter safari break, here are the top places to go wildlife-viewing for both luxury-orientated and budget-conscious travellers.

You can book all these camps and lodges through Getaway Accommodation.

RiverBend Lodge is a mere 55 minutes’ drive from Port Elizabeth and is an ideal malaria-free safari addition to a Garden Route holiday. Personalised game drives are led by enthusiastic and experienced guides, who will ensure you have a truly memorable safari experience.

The Hapoor Dam, named after the legendary leader of the Addo Elephant herd is a hive of activity in the summer months in the Addo Elephant Park.

Hundreds of elephant taking mud baths and drinking copious amounts of water can be observed from the car park, together with buffalo and birds all sharing what is probably Addo’s most popular water hole.

There is a good chance visitors could even spot Valli Moosa, one of the new dominant males in Addo, who originally hails from the Kruger National Park.

Vali Moosa, one of the dominant bulls in Addo Elephant Park

With over 500 elephant in the Park, Addo boasts one of the highest concentrations of African elephant in the world.

The Addo Elephant Park was proclaimed by the South African Government in 1931 to save the last 11 elephant that had not been exterminated by hunters. The great herds of elephants and other animal species had been all but decimated over the 1700’s and 1800’s by hunters.

In the late 1800’s, farmers began to colonise the area around the park, also taking their toll on the elephant population due to competition for water and crops. In 1954, Graham Armstrong (the park manager at the time) developed an elephant-proof fence constructed using tram rails and lift cables and an area of 2270 hectares was fenced in.

Hapoor Dam in the hot summer Eastern Cape summer

There were only 22 elephants in the Park. This Armstrong fence, named after its developer, is still used around the park today. The only elephant to have managed to climb the fence was Hapoor, who was dethroned as the dominant bull by Lanky, who then drove Hapoor out of the herd.

Being a loner did not suit Hapoor, who decided to climb over the Armstrong fence. Knowing that no fence would ever hold Hapoor, and knowing his aggressive nature, the sad decision was made to shoot him.

A fight breaks out at Hapoor Dam

There is a cast of Hapoor in the information centre at Addo that clearly shows the missing piece (hap) of his ear (oor). It is believed that a bullet shot by a hunter caused the wound, leading to Hapoor hating humans for most of his life.

On more than one occasion park staff was forced to flee when Hapoor made his appearance! With elephants needing to drink up to 200 litres of water per day, most visitors to Addo Elephant Park manage to see the giants of the African wild.

Two Addo Elephant National Park buffalo bulls with near record horn spans are expected to attract breeders and reserve owners from throughout Southern Africa to the annual Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees auction.

The biggest has been nick-named “Bismarck,” and has a horn span of 46 inches, while Hercules has one of 45 inches. Both have been captured, and are in a boma at the Addo Elephant National Park, according to auction organiser Johan Swart.

He says new blood and a new date bring a new era to the annual Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees game auction, which is one of the top three wildlife auctions in the country.

For the first 10 years of the Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees, brought to you in association with DSTV in 2012, the auction has been hosted on the Saturday of the festival weekend. This has been moved to the Friday to accommodate out of town bidders – many of whom also want to bring their families to enjoy the many attractions at the Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees, according to auction organiser Johan Swart.

“We have listened to what the industry has told us, and moved the auction a day forward.

“The trend in the industry is to hold auctions on week days.

“This also helps with the movement of the game after it has been bought,” he says.

The auction is one of the few in the country where buyers are able to see the majority of the prize animals, which are kept in bomas for the sale.

This year, around 40 disease-free Add Elephant National Park buffalo will go under the hammer of Brandon Leer of Brandon Leer Auction Services. Leer is widely regarded as one of the best livestock auctioneers in the country, and a specialist in game sales. He will be taking over the hammer from Roy Hayes who handled the auctions for the first 10 years.

“Roy helped put the Kirkwood wildlife auction on the map, and the fact that we could attract an auctioneer with the experience of Brandon is a tribute to the solid foundation Roy built,” says Swart.

Leer was schooled in the Eastern Cape and grew up in the Port Elizabeth area.

River Bend Lodge, Addo Elephant National Park

30 May 2012

 

River Bend Lodge in the Addo Elephant National Park was by far the highlight of my trip down the Garden Route.  As you know, I had been staying at out of the way self-catering cottages – we had enjoyed them thoroughly and each one had been very special in their own way. 

But, no ways was I saying “no thanks” to some five star pampering and I could not wait to get to River Bend Lodge.

We arrived after our dramatic trip over the Prince Alfred’s Pass, my mini was covered in mud and both hubby and I looked a little worse for wear……. 

 

But, Stefanie (assistant lodge manager) and Mike (our assigned field guide) welcomed us like royalty.  After filling in the usual indemnity forms etc, we were whisked away to our executive suite. 

I love that feeling of comfortable but not over the top, which is exactly what the rooms are like. 

You can sprawl out on the huge bed (big enough for a whole family), relax outside on your own private veranda, or lay back in the Victorian bath making sure you are using all the complimentary oils and bubble baths. 

There is also an outdoor shower which hubby just loves; he says there is nothing quite like showering under the stars….

It was bliss…..      

 

High Tea

After settling in, we walked up to the very comfortable lounge / bar for high tea which was the beginning of our gourmet experience. 

The last time I had visited, the food had been very good and, as I had been told that there was a new chef, I could not wait to see what was on offer.  Let’s just say, my tummy and taste buds were well taken care off!  I met up with Jonathan Hodder, the new Executive Chef and you can learn a little more about him in a later post – young, good looking, can obviously cook up a storm and has worked at a famous British restaurant……  keep your eyes peeled for this.

Next up was our afternoon game drive.   One of the advantages of staying at a private  lodge is the personalized game drives, nothing can beat them.  The field guides are well  trained and no matter how many times I have been on a game drive, I always learn something new.  Mike, our field guide had a lovely way of telling a story which kept one interested and also amused.  He was completely “in love” with his job, and his enthusiasm for all things wild whether it was the game or the bushes and trees was a joy to experience. 

Gin Tonic with sushi for sundowners – heaven!

We were lucky enough to immediately find some Buffalo (read more about these Dagga Boys HERE) and then, after our sundowners, we bumped into some Elephants, they were amazing, right next to our open safari vehicle as you can see from the pics below. 

A heart stopping moment with ellies right up close and personal…at dusk

On our return, we were met with a lovely hot chocolate “toddy” to banish any cold away.  Then, after a quick freshen up, it was time for dinner.  This was a very elegant affair with “fine dining”, silver tableware and excellent service.   

Take a look at what hubby chose:

Parma Ham Crispy Egg and Pea Mousse Truffle Dressing on the left for starters followed by African spiced saddle of lamb ”chakalaka”, roast red pepper, cumin sauce

And to top it off :

White Chocolate Parfait with orange vanilla puree and passion fruit struzel

After a wonderfully restful night, we were woken up at the crack of dawn for our next 

A gorgeous sunrise makes the early start worthwhile

game drive.  It always seems a bit of a pain to force those eyes open when it is still dark outside, but once you are up and in that safari vehicle and the sun is just creeping over the horizon, it is all so worth it. 

 

 

We were duly rewarded with a fabulous sighting of the lions relaxing in the early morning sunlight.  We also saw lots of other game including some very large Warthogs, a huge herd of Elephants, lots of Eland, Kudu, Duikers, Red Hartebeest Zebra and the Black-backed Jackal and of course lots of birds. 

Top Black-backed Jackal, lion, Bottom Kudu, Warthog, Red Harte-beest

Back at the lodge, we indulged in a delicious breakfast of scrambled egg and salmon….and before we knew it, it was time to pack up and leave….. I really did feel sad to be going, wish the stay could have been longer so that I could have enjoyed all the amenities more but hey, I am not complaining!

River Bend does have a special rate for the winter months, see them HERE.  In addition to this superb rate, if you book two nights, you will also get a third night FREE.   

A lovely pool area just right for relaxing between game drives

If I were you, I would save up to spend a special occasion at this superb location.  It is just so worth it and the winter special is excellent value when you consider that it is FIVE star and includes accommodation, two game drives per day, each of which is about 3hrs long  all your delicious meals as well as Park levies and fees.  Children are also very welcome!!

So, get saving and make it happen!  Have you been on safari in the Eastern Cape and, if not, why not??

Full disclosure: Our stay was provided by River Bend Lodge, but as always, I will share my honest opinion about any travel experiences I have.

Rangers at the Addo Elephant National Park have received equipment worth more than R500 000 from Unitrans, to assist in the battle against rhino poaching. This includes cameras, tents, backpacks, binoculars and other equipment needed for day and night patrols! Added to this some of the money is been used to train selected rangers and make use of helicopter patrols!

Addo is ready to battle the poachers but are the poachers ready for this? Bring it on!

Addo Elephant National Park is most famous for its conservation of the last remaining wild elephants in the Eastern Cape. A few hundred years ago there were thousands of the earth’s largest land mammal in this area of South Africa, as well as plenty of other wildlife like lions, leopards, rhinos, buffaloes and springbok. But rapid colonial expansion after 1820 meant most of this diverse landscape was transformed into dairy farms and citrus fruit estates.

The elephants had a penchant for oranges in particular, and understandably they couldn’t resist raiding the farmers’ crops.  The farmers got fed up, and put pressure on the government to sort out the problem. The first solution was predictable – for the times. The Administrator of the Cape Province – Sir Frederick de Waal – started paying hunters to exterminate the elephants.

In particular, a certain bloodthirsty Major Pretorius shot 120 elephants in his first eleven months in the Addo area. During one hunt, according to the archives, he was ‘once forced to lame an elephant by shooting it through the vertebral column, then like lightning he jumped on the beast’s back, ran to its head and killed it with a shot through the neck.’ In another instance Pretorius shot 16 elephants within 30 seconds – or so his journal records.

Eventually, after decades of hunting and harassment, the remaining elephants – just 11 of them in the whole region – retreated to the almost impenetrable thicket of the Addo region, where hunters and humans couldn’t reach them. Yet they still made their forays into the farmers’ fields at night to raid the crops.

By that stage fortunately, the public had woken up to the tragedy, and quickly there were calls for the establishment of a reserve. In 1931, the national park was proclaimed, extending just over 2000 hectares. However, the reserve wasn’t fenced, so the big animals still posed a problem, frequently moving onto farm lands.

The reserve’s ranger Harold Trollope wrote in 1931 how farmers and their staff still tried to kill the elephants: ‘Farmers in some instances fired at the elephants on sight often wounding them and supplied boys with rifles giving instructions that they were to shoot any elephant they came across, and that these orders were carried out. The elephants were shot at in a most cowardly manner, from safe distances, as for instance across a kloof, but never at close quarters, and were it not for the protection offered by…the difficult bush, the Addo elephants would not have existed today.’

Elephants in Addo are accustomed to vehicles, unlike in the past

Trollope succeeded in driving the remaining elephants into the area marked for the reserve, and for the most part he and his team of park rangers managed to keep them safe. But the elephants had to wait until 1951 for complete sanctuary from the guns of farmers.

At that stage, the reserve’s ranger Graham Armstrong had devised a unique type of fence constructed of railway sleepers sunk several feet into the ground, and attached to these were old wire cables supplied free-of-charge by the Otis lift company in Port Elizabeth. This design proved so effective that eventually the entire reserve was fenced off, and the elephants weren’t able to break out – finally, after a few hundred years, both the elephants and people were happy. And today, the Armstrong fence is still used.

Today the Addo Elephant National Park conserves the Big Five, including lions (reintroduced into the area from Kgalagadi, and buffalo, which, unlike the lions, were never exterminated). However, the emphasis has shifted from species conservation towards habitat protection and restoration.  The huge increase in the park’s size from 2 000 hectares to more than 180 000 hectares is indicative of the national trend to conserving “corridors” of biodiversity. (Addo is now the third-largest national park in the country, although Garden Route National Park is not far behind).

Similar to the Baviaanskloof Mega-Reserve and Gouritz Initiative, Addo conserves, by design, a marvelous diversity of natural habitat: stretching from Nama Karoo in the Darlington Dam section in the far north, to fynbos and forest in the mountainous Zuurberg wilderness area, to subtropical thicket in the middle, and finally coastal dune forest and beaches in the Woody Cape section along the coast. This coastal section has the largest sand dune complex in the southern hemisphere, and it also includes a group of offshore islands that protects the largest populations of African penguins and Cape gannets in the world, as well as a sizeable Cape fur seal colony.

All these different habitats are now connected to each other over conserved land, joined together in a contiguous fashion, whereas in the past there were only isolated pieces of protected areas in a vast area that was transformed into monoculture and urban development. (Granted, the national N2 highway still divides the coastal section from the rest of the park).

The reasoning goes that ‘islands’ or ‘pockets’ of nature will eventually die out and become sterile.  Species and habitats need to be connected if they are to survive, thrive and adapt. Especially nowadays with global warming, which is predicted to have a desiccating and heating affect over much of Southern Africa. Unless species can move to other areas, and adapt at the same time, South Africa will lose most of its biological diversity over the next few hundred years or so, with potentially disastrous consequences for humans.

However, as conservation manager John Adendorff told me, even Addo’s 180 000 hectares is not a very big piece of land if one considers the huge amount of urban and agricultural development around the park. ‘It’s a highly managed park, and we monitor animal populations very closely to see how they are impacting on the vegetation.’

An Elephant takes a lunch break

Today there are more than 600 elephants in Addo, at a density of about 2,8 elephants per square kilometre, perhaps the highest in Africa. ‘They’ve got it pretty good here,’ John said smiling. It’s incredible to think that at one stage there were only 11 left in the whole Eastern Cape. Hell has turned into paradise for the ellies.

The only reason that park authorities aren’t more worried about an overpopulation of elephant is because of the thicket biome. It’s a remarkable habitat, and at its core is spekboom, a succulent bush which not only sequestrates as much carbon from the atmosphere as rainforests, but also sustains some of the highest densities of wildlife in the world.

Park manager Norman Johnson tells me that “the elephants now are so successful that they’re becoming a nice problem. At some stage, we’ll need to look at controlling the population.”

But culling is not even considered as one of the options – instead, SANParks are looking to drop more fences between the different sections of the park, allowing the elephants to roam more widely, and also thereby introducing natural stresses into the elephant’s reproduction cycles. By forcing the elephants to roam further for water and food, growth rates in the population should slow down. And then there’s always contraception, which is the next best alternative.

The last few days I’ve had some good sightings of elephant and buffalo, and although it’s been raining a lot, today there was some sunshine.

I’ve had a chance to explore the main sections, where the Big Five hang out, and also the Zuurberg mountain section, where I went for a short horse ride this afternoon with ranger Thembelane Keye. It’s quite amazing to drive twenty odd kilometres from the subtropical heat of the main section, and in no time enter the cool, windy mountains where fynbos and grassland plateaus are the norm. Reminds me of the Baviaanskloof and Gamkaberg Nature Reserve.

Well, that’s a long blog from me today, but I’ve been hibernating from the rain like the rest of the animals here. But now that the rain has stopped, I hope to post more photos and blogs. The sun’s just about to go down, and I’m going to put some kudu wors on my braai. Addo Main Camp is pretty, and the chalets looks over a little valley, where hyenas and jackal seem to hang out at night (I can hear both species calling while I lie in bed).

‘The history of the preservation of the elephants is assuredly an epic in game conservation. In this manner, the bush, clad in hazy myster, is being preserved for future generations as an unspoilt facet on the face of the Masterly creation.’ – The Addo Elephants, A National Parks Board publication (published at a time when this little book cost 50c!)
