Openbilled Stork on Nsumo
Pan

by Waxbag

Nsumo Pan is a shallow lake that is feed by the Mkhuze river, located on the east central part of the park. Here is the best spot in the game reserve to find water birds as well as crocodile and hippo. There are a couple of platforms on the edge of the lake but they are not hides, unfortunately.

Some of the birds that I spotted here are as follows:
Glossy Ibis
Hadadah ibis
Blackwinged stilt
Whitefaced duck
Jacana
Great White Egrets
African Fisheagle
Natal Robin
Yellow billed stork
Wooly Headed stork
Openbill stork

	Watch Game From the Kumasinga Hide

White Rhino at Kumasinga

by Waxbag

The Kumasinga Hide here is one of the most amazing hides I have ever seen. You can sit by the hours and watch the animals. The hide is situated directly over the water hole. You are only just a few meters away from the animals as they come and drink and they don't know you are there. We drove all over the park and did see very much. But here at the hide, all the animals come to drink. We sat here by the hour and just watched the animals come and go including:
zebra
wildebeest
nyala
impala
kudu
warthog
white rhino
vervet monkey
baboon
hyena

The purple crested lourie, the paradise whydah, and blackcollared barbet were some of the more interesting birds spotted here.

When you are really close to the animals and there is no interference with the sound (being restricted to a car with the car noise) you really get another sense of what is going on by hearing.

	The Elephants are North Near Nhlonhlela Bush Camp

Elephants Crossing the Mkuze
River

by Waxbag

There are about 35 elephants in Mkuze. They all use to be in the south of the park and very difficult to see. Well they are still very difficult to find but are in the northern section of the park along the Mkuze River and at Nhlonhela Pan. There is more water up here and there is plenty of vegetation.

If you can see if you can come up to the Nhlonhela Bush Camp. The rangers let me go up to the camp to see the elephants because there were no clients staying at the camp. When I got to the camp a ranger took me down along the river to spot the elephants. The views along the river are nice and the ranger was extremely friendly and informative.
