A Clip of Mkhaya Game Reserve

While trawling the net of things to do in Swaziland, I cam across the following link which shows elephants cavorting about Mkhaya Game Reserve in Swaziland.

This Big Game Parks is full of conservation history, dealing with pioneering conservation from the obstacles and challenges, to the cohesion with the Monarchy and ultimately the reintroduction of 22 species and counting. Central to all this is the Reilly family who to this day play a key part in Swaziland's fabric. In fact, Ted Reilly was honoured at the recent extravagant 40-40 celebrations and is formally being recognized on the 17 September 2008.

In other stuff, the Swazi Frontier now has their website up and running www.theswazifrontier.sz which has prompted cold shivers all over and I am now again eyeballing hitting the hill climbs for training!

I must add that I have been to Mkhaya Game Reserve numerous times and have found the Rhino's quite exhilirating there. They obviously have grown accostomed to the game drive vehicles and know they pose no threat - this allows for close ups of prolonge periods allowing for good inspection of these wondrous beasts.
