Curious Creatures


Giraffes are always regarded as such elegant creatures, with their long slender legs and their stretched out necks, not to mention their long eyelashes that will make any women envious. At Ubizane we are regularly treated to up close experience with these giants of the bush. 
One of their frequent ‘hangouts’ is the Ubizane parking area, where you truly get a grasp on their immense size, when they stand next parked car.
Inquisitively peeping around the bushes at the days happenings of the lodge, it seems with every day that passes the tower of Giraffes get a little bit braver.    




Giraffes are not all that seem congregate at the Ubizane Parking area, Vervet monkeys also tend to favour the shaded area. As many of you who have visited us before know, the vervet monkeys can be particularly mischievous, and all too often they find themselves in quite a pickle!
This particular monkey thought a guest’s car would make a fine resting place after the mornings gallivanting. You can only image the mischievous events that he is busy planning!   






Being tucked away in the bush, the parking lot is not the only hot spot for glimpsing game, Throughout the Ubizane property there I always something going on!
Whether it is birds scourging around in the leaf litter, or a shy Nyala having an afternoon drink from one of the many ponds on the property; to even a Terrapin basking in the late afternoon sun!
At Ubizane you are guaranteed to never have a dull moment!
