obviously these people do not know how short a distance of 185 miles can be to elephants

they better have great fences and food/ water to keep them there

I would never have thought a creature as heavy as an elephant could be picked up by it's feet. Chokers around the ankles and lift, pretty simple.

Both parks are being adequately fenced. What will happen when all the parks in Malawi are overstocked, who knows?

Good project by a good organization as far as I can tell.

You don't come across many areas run by African Parks that have been unsuccessful.

I heard that most of the elephants that were relocated from KNP to Mozambique returned within a few weeks.

That was along a common border between KNP and Limpopo NP not hundreds of miles of separation. Game relocations have proven successful in places like Gorongosa NP and others. I bet this relocation will prove to be a success. African Parks has a great track record across many countries where they have "adopted" areas.

It takes an electrified fence to keep them from coming back.

One of our AR members was involved in building the fence at Nkhotakota. Not sure if he is interested in adding to this thread, but I will let him know it is here.

Here is to hoping the elephants are the big winners.

Thanks for the info Wheels.

Hi Guys
It's interesting to see this thread.
I was personally involved in building +_65km of fence in the first phase, of three.
However I had to return to attend to my hunting business in SA.

Africa Parks has really made a huge difference in everyone's lives by rehabilitating the Nkhotakota wildlife reserve. 60+ laborers are employed at any given time, Local Businessmen and Contractors are also contracted.

It is a huge task to relocate these animals and keeping them in. Only the best fencing specialist (Maclin Power Fencing) stood up for the task and the team is doing a great job. I actually met with Neil and Robert yesterday and they told me that phase two was to start soon.

Elephant, Waterbuck and Kudu has been relocated sofar and Buffalo as well as more PG will follow in the next few weeks.

If only I knew how to post pictures I would have been glad to do so.

Thanks for your contribution to the effort.

I too am illiterate when it comes to photobucket or I would help with the photos.
