Yeah, exciting times for sure! Kuhan...Hi Claudia!<br /><br />Yeah, exciting times for sure! Kuhanya fortunately seems to come into camp when its quiet and the guests are on drive. At night we always escort the guests to and from the rooms, so they are always with a ranger or the nightwatchman.<br /><br />Even last night again, john found her sleeping on the patio at reception, but she ran off as soon as he went around the corner - that is typical leopard behaviour, and i really dont think she poses a problem...but we will tell staff and guests to be on the look out, and just to give her space if they see her. she is a wild animal, and still has a fear of humans, so she would rather move off than attack someone....<br /><br />its a bit of a idfficult situation for us...we are afterall guests in her world, and it doesnt seem right that we should chase any animals out of camp as its their territory. i look at some other lodges in adjoining reserves, and see how they too have leopards that are often in their camps, and if anything, their leopards are far more at home in thier camps than kuhanya has made herself in ours. Nthombi in the south is regularly seen in one of the southern lodges and poses no problems (except to the bushbuck there!)....so i dont think that at this stage it is something to be concerned about yet. we will just monitor her behaviour and activities around camp, but at the end of the day, as i said, it is her territory, and we have to respect that...<br /><br />im also looking forward to the next few days to see how things unfold...but as the lodge gets busier towards the weekend, i am sure kuhanya will move off again :)<br /><br />thanks for your comments :)<br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />ChadChad Cockingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775438753174835106.post-43787291051683634622011-03-13T22:19:26.632+02:002011-03-13T22:19:26.632+02:00God bless Kuhanya was stuffed from the day before!...God bless Kuhanya was stuffed from the day before! My only question is, how are guests told to behave, when they arrest in camp and suddenly come across with her? Really exciting...<br />Thank you for the exciting update! Looking forward to the following days.<br />Regards, ClaudiaClaudiahttp://www.cranio-heilung.denoreply@blogger.com
