BUFFALO INDICATOR
One afternoon after a long search for buffalos, we were driving on Mokwetus route 14 cutline and saw a dung beetle which over took the Jeep driving at 30km/h and stood in front of us. Flying in our direction, we followed him for about 2 minutes and eventually we came out of a large herd of buffalos. There must have been hundreds of them! The drive ended there as a relief from tiny Scalab that you could easily ignore.
