Drought status for Northern Namibia

[Patrick R]

I hear that the kudus are dying... no leaves to browse!!!

RSA (NW province and border of Botswana) Kudu die, but there are leave on the trees just the tree doesn't want the Kudu to forage on it anymore...create a defends mechanism and release a ''arsenic'' type substance which kills the Kudu...

A 2nd load of silage bales went out a few days ago! What these guys are doing is exceptional. They are now getting local businesses to chip in and donate so they can send more.

@Bushwack hold in there Patrick, it will break soon. I believe they are working through a farmers association in the Free State and that is as far as it is making it because the drought is so severe. There is a group on facebook which distributes feed to farmers in need but I can't remember the name, something Boere....

I suffered a huge financial set back in the last month that is going to hurt the pocketbook for awhile, but I'm still considering going back to Africa. Just not doing much for taxidermy and only pictures. The last few years have not been financially kind to me. I like Namibia.

Same boat as you Enysse. I didn't have a huge set back but enough for me to say well this blows. s
