Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 805 - 16/10/2018

Hwange Update October 2018

Leaving Harare early morning for Hwange, we were lucky enough to catch the final glory of the Msasa trees (Brachystegia Spiciformis) splendidly adorned in delicate red, amber and bronze. Further along Zambezi teak trees (Baikaea Plurijuga) in shades of orange and gold interspersed with the misty lilac blossom of the Kalahari Lancepod (Philenoptera Nelsii), more Msasas, vibrant yellow Sjambokpods (Cassia Abbreviata) and pale green Ordeal trees (Erythrophleum africanum) were a spectacular sight. Closer to Main Camp, Camelthorns (Acacia Erioloba) bore masses of small yellow pom poms, promise of a bountiful crop of nutritious pods to come. There was a police presence on the roads, but the general attitude was friendly.
Livingi Pan on the way in was as pretty as a picture and full of water with a herd of ellies and nine buffalo 'Dagga Boys' enjoying a drink and a splashy wallow. The buffs number is down from fourteen as they are slowly being picked off by the twenty-two strong Main Camp lion pride. A pair of Grey Crowned Cranes were gathering nesting material in the marshy grass, some Spur- winged Geese paddled serenely on the pan and a cluster of Yellow Billed Storks perched in a nearby tree.
We were greeted in Main Camp by a family of noisy Red-billed Spurfowl and a Shikra sitting motionless on a branch searching for his lunch. The midday heat was breathless, so we had a rest before heading out towards Nyamandhlovu Platform. The water there and at Dom was plentiful - always a relief at these very popular drinking points. We found a group of wildebeest grazing near the platform mingling with a dazzle of zebra, and a herd of graceful impala, ears constantly swiveling, eyed us inquisitively with dark, liquid eyes.
October 2018

The pod of resident hippos splayed out in the mud has a new baby and three enormous crocs, mouths propped open, soaked up the afternoon sun on the bank - situation normal at Nyam!
We left Main Camp early next day on route to Robins Camp. Boss Long One held a little water in a rather muddy pool and we spied an Amethyst Sunbird darting around in a glorious Woodland Gardenia (Gardenia Volkensii) feasting on the nectar of its
creamy pale-yellow blooms, like a flashing jewel in the early morning sun. On to Guvalala which we have never before seen so full of water, all the more
gratifying when remembering past challenges. The water birds
there were amazing and included numerous Red-billed Teal,
Three-banded and Kittlitz's plovers, Wood Sandpipers, Ruffs, Black-winged Stilts, Egyptian Geese, a family group of Little Grebes and a striking Pied Avocet foraging in the shallows. Overhead, Yellow-billed Kites swooped through the air displaying marvelous aerobatic skills, their plaintive cries carried away on the wind. Numerous Bradfield's Hornbills busily pecked through mounds of elephant dung gleaning undigested seeds and grubs, and a group of kudu cows with a young male stood alongside several giraffe cautiously approaching the pan to drink.
Shapi was full to the brim, surveyed by a hunched Grey Heron, and while a huge male warthog made off quickly at our approach a small string of Zebra in single file drew near to drink in strict order of rank. We lingered there to relish an ice-cold drink before heading to Shumba where the hide provided a lovely view of a stately elephant bull drinking his fill before swishing himself with water to keep cool. Glossy and Sacred Ibis were feeding across the pan and a flock of attractive Common Waxbills and their cute Blue cousins flitted to and fro through the scrubby brush.
Approaching Masuma, the Shaving brush bush willows (Combretum Mossambicense) were an absolute sight to behold, their graceful arches of pretty white blossom suspended in the air like clouds of confetti. We always listen for the musical whistles and warbles of Red-winged Starlings in the camp at Masuma along with Red-billed Hornbills and Lesser blue-eared (Meves's) Starlings.

We paused for a while in the cool hide watching comical turtles hitch a ride on the backs of some Hippos floating in the shallows, and Impala, Waterbuck, and Warthogs keeping a wary eye open for resident crocs.
We had heard great things of the newly refurbished Robins Camp, and eagerly looked forward to seeing it for ourselves. The upgrade is quite remarkable and a real example of what can be achieved with considerable investment, imagination and skillful design. The main complex is not quite complete but looking ahead a couple of years down the track, rolling green lawns, water wise gardens, evergreen trees, friendly, efficient staff and tastefully appointed lodges all with shiny new en suite facilities will make this place balm for the soul. We
relished a refreshing swim in the new swimming pool, deliciously cool after our long, hot drive. The camp ground has two brand new ablutions with piping hot showers, its own separate pool is in progress and each camp site has a plug point. The electric fence around the whole camp makes this an ideal, safe destination for families with children. Hats off to the Robins team for their vision and hard work, we wish them every success.
An evening game drive rewarded us with sightings of Reedbuck, rare Tsessebe and a huge herd of a thousand
or more buffalo in the vlei shortly before reaching Little Toms. The dry grass was very tall, and the dust stirred up by the herd made for a wonderful scene.

Further along at Big Toms we found the water level very high for the time of year. A family of smart Black Crakes peeped out from a clump of reeds, and numerous plump sandgrouse came in to snatch a quick drink in the late afternoon, their distinctive aw aw calls punctuating the air. Just as we were about to head back to camp, the barking alarm call of impala alerted us to lurking danger, and a lone lioness emerged from the bush for a drink. She
was in prime condition, beautifully lit up by the golden evening light - a thrilling end to a long day.
We ventured out early next morning encountering a large herd of roan antelope close to camp and were pleased to note several pairs of endangered White- backed Vultures dotted around nesting in tall trees. We were awed by the enormous stretch of water in Salt pan hosting hundreds of busy waders and a variety of waterfowl.

Several serene giraffes were browsing some way off as was a breeding herd of ellies and some kudu bulls. Crocodile Pools for a delicious brunch fry-up in the newly refurbished hide was a delight and alive with teeming birdlife. A pair each of Pied and Giant Kingfishers were fishing for their breakfast, we spied two Black-crowned Night Herons in a clump of sticks on the river bank, some Pied Wagtails flitted about, and a lone Hamerkop stood scooping up frogs. Two busy Cinnamon-breasted Buntings
hopped around on the rocks below, and the grunting of Hippos and noisy chattering of hosts of White-browed Sparrow-weavers together with the haunting cries of a pair of African Fish Eagles added to the magic. The Deka River held impressive water, and debris lodged quite high in the trees along the road on the way in was testament to severe flooding earlier this year.
We had planned two nights at Mandavu Dam and stopped off at Deteema Picnic site en route. Deteema Dam was nearly full. Some shy African Spoonbills were wading through the water sweeping their 'spoons' from side to side, occasionally swallowing prey with a sharp backwards head-jerk. Common House-Martins swooped overhead in a flock, feeding on the wing and a handsome White- headed Vulture sat perched in a dead tree nearby, its bill bright red as if dipped in blood!
At Mandavu we made friends with a delightful couple of intrepid fellow campers from Cape Town, and with much fun and laughter shared an impromptu three course dinner all cooked over the coals. Mandavu holds so much water that the islands have shrunk quite drastically, but we were pleased to note three pairs of African Skimmers aggressively dive-bombing a Goliath Heron that landed too near their nests.
Special too were the gentle rock hyraxes clustered in family groups, sunning themselves to warm up. While enjoying a sundowner that evening, relishing the calm before nightfall, a huge herd of buffalo crested the opposite ridge and surged over it to the water below. Spread out along the bank, we estimated more than fifteen hundred animals, one of the great sightings in Hwange and a privilege to behold.

Mandavu came with other excitements too. Asides from regular nocturnal visits from some bold, marauding hyaenas, and an altercation with a dense column of fierce Matabele ants that wished to settle under our ground sheet, a persistent rustle in the grass near our braai area that evening revealed, on close inspection with a light, an enormous, deadly African Puff Adder about a meter long and as thick as a man's forearm. Keeping a safe distance, we watched it calmly 'walking' on its ribs - as puffies do - almost in slow motion. With
the aid of a long metal pole, we managed to manoeuvre the snake away from the camp unharmed much to the disappointment of camp attendants Elizabeth and Beauty who next day asked us hopefully 'Is it now dead ' Camping in Hwange is clearly not for the feint hearted. The drive to Kennedy 1 Picnic site next day was hot, but shortly before reaching Masuma we chanced upon a leopard, that most shy and elusive of cats.

Like an ethereal ghost, she flirted with the shadows of the trees, before melting away, her camouflaged coat perfectly suited to concealment. Two lionesses at Shumba provided entertainment by hiding in the Mopane scrub to stalk a small herd of impala that were drinking at the pan, but those wily antelope were far too alert and fleet of foot for the lazy cats who gave up the hunt and flopped down in the shade to doze.

THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO
ALL EVENTS IN THE ROBERT SIBSON HALL

Thursday 18 October at 7.00 p.m. Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'
A second 'Frankenstein' celebration in its bi-centenary year! The ballet greatly impressed those who saw it early in the year, so much so that there were requests to show it again, and it was missed by several, so a second showing on Friday is preceded by Kenneth Branagh's film of the Frankenstein story which remains much more faithful to Mary Shelley's novel than other versions. Starring Branagh himself, Robert De Niro, Tom Hulce, Helena Bonham Carter, Ian Holm, John Cleese, and Aidan Quinn, the film drew mixed reviews but has come to be regarded as an ambitious and visually striking if occasionally flawed attempt to recreate the novel and as 'something more substantial than Hollywood's typical, fitfully entertaining fluff' [Reelviews].
'The more you watch, the more you appreciate how Branagh was able to faithfully retell Shelley's novel while still managing to make it fresh and make it relevant.' [Movie Metropolis]
'This whole Gothic horror is so much better than any movie or TV adaptation I've seen. It is an absolute masterpiece. [Amazon]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

Friday 19 October at 7.00 p.m. Frankenstein - a ballet in three acts
The Royal Ballet's Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett has become known for ballets that marry highly expressive movement, sophisticated musical response and dark psychological depth. 'Frankenstein' is his first full-length work and faithful to Mary Shelley's Gothic tale of morality and the human craving for love, companionship and understanding. Master designer John Macfarlane creates sumptuous costumes that evoke the richness of early 18th-century Geneva - and a set that will astonish
" Frankenstein" offers luscious performances, relentless drama, and spectacular set design and lighting. [The Mercury News]
' The whole thing is deliciously dark, the score is atmospheric and wonderful, the dancing is first rate and the production is amazingly choreographed by Liam Scarlett.' [The Stage]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00)

Thursday 25 October at 7.00 p.m. Casino Royale [Bond 21]
Bond 21 goes back to the beginning! 'Casino Royale' introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill, but he is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status and sets out on his first mission as 007. He must defeat a private banker to terrorists in a high stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, but things are not what they seem.
The best Bond in years and one of the best of all time. [Cinema Sight]
This you do not want to miss. [Rolling Stone]
Casino Royale is the best James Bond movie to date. Not only that, but it is also one of the best action movies ever made. This is a classic. [Film Geek Central]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]
Quantum of Solace is a direct sequel to Casino Royale and will be shown on Thursday, 1 November!

Friday 26 October at 7.00 p.m. Shostakovich: Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk Carriages: 10.20 p.m.
Half cynical farce, half bleak tragedy, Shostakovich's 'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk' is the work of a youthful genius in a state of tumultuous emotional confusion, passionate and enraged but already frustrated and constricted by the Soviet system under whose auspices it was composed. Telling the story of a lonely woman in 19th-century Russia who falls in love with one of her husband's workers and is driven to murder, it is unquestionably one of the greatest operas of the 20th century. It was a huge hit at its Leningrad premiere, clocking up nearly 200 performances in the Soviet Union in two years, and it was enthusiastically received in Copenhagen, Prague, New York and London. Such was its popularity that, in January 1936, there were three productions running concurrently in Moscow alone - until on 26 January Stalin attended a performance at the Bolshoi with shattering consequences for Shostakovich and his opera.
This is an outstanding stage performance from the Liceu Theatre of Barcelona, highly recommended as an exceptionally good performance of a very important opera. [MusicWeb International]
Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is a great opera. Stage Director: Stein Winge has successfully answered the many staging challenges that this opera presents, and the performances are uniformly excellent. [Classical Net]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00).
