Just when we thought we would never have to take out our winter woolies, the weather turned and we had a week of extreme desert cold.  A normal winter's day here in the desert starts off slightly chilly then during the day it warms to the mid-twenties Celsius. 

Four bat-eared foxes are seen regularly in the surrounds of Kulala Desert Lodge. The best time of day to see the four of them foraging is in the mid-afternoon from about 15h00 onwards. They feed mainly on termites and beetles, preferring to live on open grasslands.

Our bird ringing project continues under the watchful eye of Kobus. Since our last report, another four species have been ringed. This takes the total to 14 species. The four new species are yellow canary, red-headed finch, Cape turtle dove and speckled pigeon.  Quite a few of our guests and guides got involved in the ringing and it is a unique experience for everyone.

The camels, based just outside the Kulala Wilderness Reserve, gave our guests some fantastic sundowner rides this month. These rides consist of afternoon trips to a beautifully laid out drink and snacks stop.

The Environmental Club of the Kulala Wilderness Reserve ran a "Chicken Run" to clean up the reserve. Everyone joined in and made a huge effort with excellent results. The idea was to clean up the main corridor road. After cleaning we visited the dumping sites and helped with sorting out the collected rubbish into the different categories.
