Thanks so much for the kind comments!

Glad to see Moholoholo still going strong, was there 10 years ago. Do they still do the vulture kitchen in the afternoon?

[@dogsofthewind]

I think they do, as there were loads of Marabou Storks gathered there. Unfortunately we didn’t take our own advice and arrived only just in time for the tour, so we didn’t have much time to watch them. 😅

[@chrisg1234fly]

@@dogsofthewind Maybe not then. The vulture kitchen used to happen late afternoon. All the scraps from the butchery would be dumped just outside the gate. The sky would be full of vultures and then they would dive and a mass feeding frenzy would occur. It was truly an amazing site to save the vultures.

When time of the year did you visit Hoedspruit? I‘m going soon and I try to find out what clothes to bring.

[@dogsofthewind]

We visited around June/July. So the evenings were cool with temps around 7-10 celsius but the days were warm around 23-26 celsius

Hi there did you take malaria pills?

[@dogsofthewind]

Hi! No we didn’t take malaria pills. We have never taken them when we travel in SA, but if you are worried, ask a doctor. They’ll give you the best advice.
