[Home] [About the Trust] [About the Founder] [Articles] ... [Resources] Hippos at the Turgwe Reserve The Turgwe Hippo Trust Once I saved their lives in 1992, these hippos became hugely important to me. Not just because of my own commitment but also because I felt responsible to the many complete strangers who had helped me with sponsoring their food. Since December 1992, I have conducted a daily behavioral study of these Turgwe hippos, which has led to the creation of the Turgwe Hippo Trust in October 1994. The Trustees and myself wish to continue to assure a future for these hippos, and at a later stage look at helping hippos throughout Africa. Initially, we have worked on projects for these Turgwe hippos in case of future reoccurrence of the worst-case scenario: another severe drought. We have built another "emergency pan," some three times larger that the one built in 1992. Thanks to the fantastic donation from Drillwell, a Bulawayo drilling company, we had two boreholes drilled and cased by them for free. Then again, with the help from a young British girl, Anita Bulusu, we managed to buy sixty percent of the necessary piping; with a further donation, the remaining forty percent of piping was laid and now one borehole is connected to both pans. Care for the Wild stepped in again in 1997 to help the hippos, supplying a grant to buy a borehole pump.

It doesn't matter what you have seen on previous trips. It doesn't matter where you have been or whom you were with. Even if only old haunts are revisited, there is always something to widen the eyes and still the tongue. You can be sure that in Africa your senses will be overloaded. I am sometimes back at home for months before the trip's experiences coalesce into stories that can be told over dinner. I often find myself wondering, "Did that really happen to me?" Zambezi canoe safari Hippos are dangerous only if approached too closely. Our guide, James, said that he has only once been in a canoe that was attacked. (It was a good story, and parts of it may be true.) Four days canoeing the Zambezi River through Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park meant 50 miles of slaloming around countless hippopotamuses. There was almost always a hippo in sight. It might have been just one hippo feeding on a grassy bank. Sometimes, 10 or 12 broad backs crowded a sandbar in the middle of the wide river. Always, it was their eyes and ears, maybe 50 pairs at a time, poking up from the waterline.

Must be Hungry Hippos! Jan 23 '01 (Updated Jan 23 '01) Author's Product Rating Durability: Pros kids like, fun to play, sometimes even older "kids" may enjoy 5 minutes or so Cons noisy, pieces get lost The Bottom Line It's a fun game, though it can be noisy. Best if used with a can of Coke to occupy kids on a rainy day. Full Review Before Nintendo came around, Atari and Intellivision could only hold attention for so long. During this time, kids actually played with real, physical games. One of my favorites, until I was about seven or eight (I guess) was Hungry Hippos. It was not a game that I would play often, nor was it a game that would really be played for hours at a time, but when we wanted something fun and allowing us to relieve our hyperness, Hungry Hippos was the game. Basically, the game consists of four hippo heads on each side of the board. These hippo-heads have a lever connected to them that makes the hippos' mouths open and close when pressed. In the middle of the board, several marbles roll around crazily as excited kids rapidly press the levers. The object of the game is to get the hippos to "swallow" the marbles during their opening and closing (the marbles go to a tray). Whoever has the most marbles at the end wins. For more, read the back of a Hungry Hippos box.

Two nights, four bone-jarring game drives, one man with a spear, and approximately eight zillion animals after arriving, we left the Mara and headed to Lamu, a small island in the Indian Ocean, just south of the Somali border. Lamu is the oldest town on the coast, and is generally considered the archetype of Swahili culture. The streets in Lamu are never more than a meter wide, restricting the island's two cars to driving along the waterfront. All other transportation is by boat, foot, or donkey. Electricity has come only recently to Lamu, and is remains just an occasional visitor. On both nights of our visit, the power failed, forcing us to rely on the hotel's generator and, when the gas ran out, on candles. Lamu also had the first mosquitos we had seen on the trip, and coastal mosquitos carry a form of malaria against which our Egyptian prophylaxis were useless. Ryan-Silva Third-World Travel Tip #2,677: If you must hunt down mosquitos that have found their way into your mosquito netting, try to do so with the benefit of electric light.

Game Viewing The Cape of Good Hope The Wine Estates The Fairest Cape ... The People of South Africa The Big Five and the Indulgent Five Generations of the intrepid and the well-traveled have ventured to South Africa for its astonishing variety of wild game. In years prior, European nobility came to hunt and kill. In our era of heightened awareness of endangered species, animal lovers and nature lovers come from all over the world to view game: not as they are viewed in a zoo, but as they engage in their daily activities. You watch the animals bathe and feed, play with and court one another, fight and tease one another, take catnaps (pardon the pun) and search for their next meal. If you are lucky, you may follow a pride of lions as they engage in a strategic hunt. Every visitor - by virtue of his visit alone - lends support to the urgency of conservation in Africa. South Africa, with its intact eco-systems and its wide range of animal life and bird life, is in the forefront of world conservation efforts. This has been achieved through a joint venture of the government and the private game reserves, whose mission is two-fold: · to engage in conservation and re-population efforts. · to allow their (human) guests the opportunity to safely live with the game at close-hand in a way that is respectful and non-threatening. South Africa boasts impressive numbers of the "Big Five" (so-named by hunters who considered them the five most challenging types of prey): lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. Beyond the glamorous Big Five, South Africa also offers an amazing diversity of other animal life: zebras, giraffe, cheetahs, hippos, wild dogs, whales and dolphins, 700 species of birds and countless species of butterflies.

The excitement of close encounters with crocodiles and hippos in their native element thrills some, terrifies others. The crocodile already carries a ferocious reputation, with its jaws exerting about 3,000 pounds of force, but many mistake the hippo's benign roly-poly appearance for a placid nature. Do not be fooled: the hippo is the most dreaded and aggressive beast on the continent. Any river journey down the Zambezi will be on the lookout for both, and elephants are regular visitors to campsites, along with the occasional lion and leopard lurking in the area.

AFRICAN HIPPOS The hippo is the world's third largest land mammal. Hippo's live in central, southern, and western Africa. The word hippopotamus comes from two Greek words meaning river horse. In Malawi, hippo's are called mvuu. They can stay under water for as long as six minutes. In some places in Malawi, hippo's come at night and eat people's gardens. Therefore, most Malawian farmers dislike the hippo. We found a story about hippo's if you would like to read it. Here, farmers along the Shire River show a park ranger evidence of hippo damage to their gardens. It is illegal for Malawians to kill wild animals. If a wild animal is causing damage to crops, a farmer may contact the Office of Parks and Wildlife to investigate. Problem animals are killed by park rangers. Hippos , a very territorial and agressive animal, are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal in Africa. By day, you are likely to see hippos mostly submerged in the water of local rivers, ponds and lakes. At night, hippos come out of the water to graze on vegetation. abwenzi home page mailbox story book subjects

i spent two weeks in the South Luangwa Valley national park in Zambia, Africa, in august of 2001, along with my family, on safari. we did a combination of walking safaris and game drives. walking gave us a better feel for the land, while we were able to see more animals on the drives (they're a lot less scared of land rovers than they are of people on foot - poachers tend to hunt on foot a lot more than they'll drive). we saw a great variety of animals, only a portion of which are shown here. it was a fantastic experience, one i'll never forget. an escarpment in africa, as seen from our small (6 person, including pilots) bush plane a male puku (a kind of antelope that's rare everywhere except the South Luangwa valley). note the total lack of fear of us in the car three lionesses, prone in the midday heat, not more than 20 feet from our vehicle a mother elephant and her baby, whom we surprised one day just some cool clouds one day near sunset two groups of hippos... there are about 100 hippos per kilometer of this river (meaning 1 hippo every 10 meters, approximately). hippos are noisy, funny, and also quite dangerous. they kill the most people every year (more than lions, elephants, buffalos, crocodiles etc.) a plain totally decimated by the travelling herds of elephants who kill trees by scraping off all the bark, which they then eat

60. Travel Wild A variety of wildlife can be seen in this park, including the zebra, impala,gazelle, lions, leopards, hyenas, rhinos, hippos and buffaloes. http://www.travel-wild.com/parks.htm

Amboseli National Park is at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. 180 kilometres from Nairobi, the park provides breathtaking views of wildlife and Mount Kilimanjaro creates the finest photogenic backdrop to a game park. Much of Amboseli is dry and desert like. In dramatic contrast to the dry areas of Amboseli, there are two swamps both fed by underground streams from the melting snows of Kilimanjaro. Wildlife on the plains of the park are easy to spot. Elephants, buffaloes, lion, gazelle, cheetah, wildebeest, hyenas, jackal, warthog, giraffe, zebras and baboons are all present. For many of us who live in Kenya, the Aberdare National Park is perhaps the most exciting area. The National Park covers the Aberdare Range of mountains. The high altitude makes the park different to the typical savannah of most Kenyan parks and creates a cool alternative to the traveller. The range consists of beautiful indigenous mountains, bamboo forests and moorland. The forest is rich in wildlife; elephant and rhino, warthogs, bushbuck, waterbuck, buffalo and the giant forest hog are all to be seen. Three species of monkey, Sykes', Vervet and the black and white Colobus monkey are all common.
