Thanks Nico:

No, no nokas this time!!! No mosquitoes or dudus in the tent (except for one grasshopper and I used Pippa's technique in getting rid of it.

However, I did have one little shock . Since there weren't many elephants at the camp waterholes, one of the waterholes had grown a lot of reeds where hundreds of frogs lived. At night the sound was incredible. Well, one morning I got up and went to the loo. When I flushed I was amazed to see a baby frog swirling down the toilet.
That night, there was another baby frog sitting on the toilet paper holder! OK, I can handle this. I took a piece of tissue and gently picked him up and was about to drop him out the window when he wiggled out of my grip and disappeared under the wooden wall.

The next day, again upon flushing, this little guy or his brother again appeared and swam like crazy during the flush. When the water stopped running he crawled back up under the lip of the toilet where the water comes out!

I mentioned this to the tent steward and he got one of these guys out but no sooner would this happen when another would appear. I'm not afraid of frogs. However, since I have never picked one up I'm not sure how tightly one can hold them without hurting them. Thus I just decided that if he jumped into the toilet, he could jump out - and we co-existed peacefully from there on :-O

The other new and interesting thing for me was that one night and early morning I thougt my hearing was going. I kept hearing a deep humming sound. Since the power lines run not too far from camp I thought perhaps it was from them. I asked the camp manager about it and he told me the sound was from a ground hornbill. I had never heard this before. However, by the end of the nine days there I was wishing the ground hornbill would fly away before I wrung his neck!! The sound gets to you after awhile.

I know the sound.
When my dad lived in the Masai Mara and I would stay with him I had a bunch of frogs living outside my tent or crikets in the tent. That is when you really wish to have a bottle of Changa (local "Kenyan Brew") to help sleep.
