Congratulations! Wish I could do that hunt someday. Ethiopia is my favorite African country. Remarkable beauty and the people are fascinating and very hard working. Enjoy! | |||

The spotted hyena hunt was an absolute blast. There is a huge grass plain very near camp where we see reedbuck, bushbuck, nyala, warthog etc. feeding out in the open during the evening. The trackers tok a warthog carcass and placed it in the open field. After dinner, we went out and a hyena was in the area. Nassos used a mouth predator call and got the hyena's curiosity. Rick shot the beautiful male hyena and he dropped in his tracks. The grass plain near the Damaro camp has so much game it reminds me of National Geographic shows.

Hey Congrats Kat and give Rick a big hug for me. I can visualize that area so well--like I'm still there. My "anniversary" is Nov. 8th. That's awesome that he got a big ole' bull. Amazing Nassos can still climb those hills huh? I knew you'd love that grassy wide plain across the road and down the hill from Damaro camp. Like I was saying, you just have to go see it for yourself to believe it. See you guys upon return. Moja | |||

This was so cool. Nassos wanted to explore a new area that is known as the Somali Region of Ethiopia. So we loaded up the truck with a few game trackers and the Regional Game Scout and headed out. As we kept driving on the one lane dirt road we began to see camels grazing next to the road. The men were wearing only what can be described as a mid-calf length kilt and the women were dressed in these beautiful full lenght brightly colored dresses with head scarves. When we stopped in one of the villages to ask about game in the area, one of the trackers was able to communicate with the villagers as they spoke Somali. The villagers all gathered around the truck and I could not believe one of the male villagers was wearing a sweatshirt with the word HICAGO. Obviously the C fell off of CHICAGO. Amazing country and very friendly people. Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

Kathi, Congratulations to you and Rik for a great adventure in a place few will ever venture to! Also kudos on the Nyala and hyena... sounds like things are getting even more adventurous as you explore new lands! All the best... On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Congrats on the spotted hyena! The last time I saw hyena in Ethopia was on t.v. and the host of the show went outside of the city to feed a pack of hyena at night with some locals. They were even brazen enough to put food in their mouths and to allow the hyena to come up and pull the food out. Crazy! | |||

That was in the town of Harrar. The original "hyena man" got killed by...you guessed it...hyenas!  I first set foot in Ethiopian in 1982. It was the most different diverse WILD place I had ever beeen. I've been consistantly drawn back and even though the population has increased from 27 million then to 87 million now (no that isn't a typo) there are still areas that take your breath away.

Thanks for the update on the "Hyena man", Rich. That really puts the things that I saw them do with the Hyenas on that particular show into real perspective! | |||

I saw that Hyena man and thought, "that doesn't seem too smart." | |||

I was just wondering the other day if you had ever gotten over to Ethopia, and then I stumble across this. AWESOME, Kathi! I hope you had the time of your life and I can't wait to see pics, video, etc. Ethiopia has always been a place I would love to visit. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt | |||
