20. December - Playbacks and field vehicle repair in the bush

Category: 2. Field News Kenya | Date: Dec 21 2007 | By: admin

Today we drove west, looking for elephant families for our roar playbacks while on our way to Tortilis Camp where we had arranged to have new shock absorbers fit and some annoying car rattles spot-welded. The western side of the Park is extremely dry and the elephants quite listless. The Tortilis mechanic Julius did an excellent job and we have the unexpected bonus of being invited to stay for lunch. With new shock absorbers our KAM853D gave us a smooth ride back to camp, and later we once again headed out for elephant families.

Our field vehicle got a visitor while we were busy preparing for some more playbacks. You can see yourself what attracted a neighbour of ours to jump into the car without being invited.
