Alpha Three are now starting work on a new anti-poaching camp after a hectic but enjoyable first couple of days. After a change of project site due to the fact that our original site was overrun by elephants, Jungle Speed, led by Vijay, Gill and Sharon spent Saturday and Sunday discovering the communities and wildlife of majestic Southern India.
Alpha Three are now starting work on a new anti-poaching camp after a hectic but enjoyable first couple of days. After a change of project site due to the fact that our original site was overrun by elephants, Jungle Speed, led by Vijay, Gill and Sharon spent Saturday and Sunday discovering the communities and wildlife of majestic Southern India.
On Saturday the group arrived in Muda Malai, Tamil Nadu where we were greeted by members and friends of CTRG - a group run by Vijay’s dad that helps various tribal groups in the local area. We all agreed that it was a once in a lifetime moment as we were shown about the local tribal village.
The next day there was no let up on adventure as we went on a safari where we saw bison, deer and wild elephants. We then went to an elephant sanctuary where we witnessed the local workers carrying branches for feeding. We all had an amazing time but feel ready to start work after our unfortunate delay.
Keep an eye out for photos from Alpha Three's trip - we should be able to collect and upload some at the end of this week...

ReplyDeleteGood to see that you are enjoying the ruby murray, an accomplished snake charmer now, you can add this to your 6+4. More people following your progress and Trudy C will want a presentation on your return.
Hi Vicki
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't been anything on the blog in the way of updates on what you are doing since Tuesday. Just hoping you are all having such a good time that there isn't time for updates to be done!! Hope the elephants are in evidence.
Rob is coming round Sat pm with Ruby so he can see what's been happening. Everyone sends love; Auntie Anne wrote today to say she hopes you are OK.
Will write again tomorrow with Rob.
Lots of love xxxxxxxx
