Jolly Genet!

We have not only been visited by large mammals, but some smaller ones too. As a means of relaxing at the end of the day, the managers come together as the sun goes down and play cards or watch films. Spotted first by our volunteer, Josie, we have had the pleasure of a regular visit from an inquisitive genet. Without fail, every time it came to the managers going to bed, he would be waiting there watching what we were up to. We all got so used to each other that he eventually started to wander closer and closer to us while we sat watching him silently. Unfortunately, after about three weeks, all of a sudden he was gone. Fearing the worst we stopped looking for our “jolly genet”. However, I am happy to report, he is back! Everyday without fail we find his tracks left in the soft sand. He comes right up to the houses and even jumps onto the dining table to see what smells he finds there. We are just hoping that maybe one day, he will take the next step and come and join us for dinner!
