1. Biennial Game Count

Every two years we do a game count on Harloo. 

After seeing tracks often and trail cam pics of leopard throughout the years, we have been handsomely rewarded this week by seeing two leopards in broad daylight.  A beautiful female together with a huge Tom. Pictured below left: The female can be seen on the rocks and the huge male can be seen sitting to the right of the tree trunk

2.  Maintanance on Harloo

Clients often ask me what we do when we are not hunting. Below are a few things that keep us busy during the off season.

Fixing roads and building humps to prevent water washing away our roads after good rain.

Fixing Fences 

Lodge and building maintenance

The verandas in front of each room at the lodge are covered with corrugated iron for our guests to sit outside when raining, or after a long days’ hunt, enjoying a cup of coffee while appreciating nature. The poles used for the ceiling have also painted with a wood sealer to prevent damage. 

The skinning shed is also painted along with some other changes to make the work easier.

Building new gate on the main road to Swaziland

3. Anti-Poaching

We are entering the festive season now and poachers are working overtime during this time of the year. They are poaching for meat to eat and to sell. The poachers use dogs, snares (Traps) and rifles.
