Photographers Comment: Mole
is large, and unfenced, so animals come and go. The waterhole attracts them to
this part of the park, but some at only specific times of the year. There are a
lot of animals and bird species, but also a lot of park. For many species you
need a long lens. On my
visit I had only the chance to go on one walking safari, it would be good
another time to have the time to drive around the park which you can only do, with
a guide in the later afternoon, so you are unlikely to be able to cover very
much of it. In some ways its
good, very natural and unspoilt, but access is limited and you have no way of
knowing where anything is at the time you are there. It would be good to make
more use of the time you have there, and an expanded guiding system and places to
stop within the larger park would improve this. In the future it is likely to be
developed more, and at that time you are likely to be able to see more, but then
there will also be many people and it may then be more like a large farm park
you find elsewhere.
There is a lot of rough roads to
get to Mole so allow enough time when you get there to make it worth while. If
you can, go and photograph it now, while its still natural and then go back
later perhaps. |
