"Old Road" re-opened. Sometimes affairs seem to get worse but not
always. The last stretch to "Pugu Hills" has been improved by
re-opening the "old-track" (hopefully it will survive the coming
rains). Take the right turn some 800 metres after the branch-off to
Chanika in Pugu Kajiungeni at the petrol station without nomination.
There is a house on the right with a blue roof (see photograph and
click to enlarge). After some 200 m. take dirt road to the right until
you reach the bamboo gate (which you can lift). After bamboo gate turn
right you will end up at iron bar (please blow your horn at bar) For

Almost 15 years we hardly saw the bush baby but when we started feeding
them after the dry spell of 2000 - 2006 they are hard to be missed at
the camping hill, even before dusk. But the good times are over while
we stopped feeding. click

Most times I do the 1 K. nature trail at Pugu Hills, there will be
something to see. Just listen and look around something will be moving
and nature changes, always. Have a look at youtube just close to the
gate click
youtube . The nice elephant shrew with
his/her flexible nose. I did not count but could be the four toed
elephant shrew (Petrodromus tetradactylus)?

Some guests
are a bit
disappointed about the wildlife at Pugu Hills. Please follow
this link find
wildlife . We
do have to admit that it is already 6 months now, since the last lion
passed by. By the way apart from the occasional snakes looking for a
frog, the Nature Pool attracted the first water bird a young long
tailed cormorant paddling around and diving for our nature fish cormorant
