Holiday 2

After Christmas with the family, we headed North to the real African Bush - our favorite place on holiday. This is our 5th visit to Shingwedzi which is well-known for it's animal preservation work - mostly cheetah, wild dogs and now a few other animals. It is also a Game Farm but it does not have all of the Big Five.

The boys cooling off in our private swimming pool. The Game Farm only has three luxury homes for guests and each has it's own private entertainment area and pool.

One of the amazing cheetahs in the breeding program. It was so close we could touch it, but we did not. The Farm also has crocodiles, rhino, hippo, giraffe and a wide variety of buck.

Posing with the boys outside our Camp. We had a lovely time, as always!

Holiday

The boys and their Dad love trout fishing so we went camping near Belfast before Christmas. I still cannot believe I stayed in a TENT! I prefer more luxury these days...

It was a beautiful setting though. If you look closely, you might see my son casting on the left of the picture.

This is the view from our deck. The best time of day for me in Africa - just before the sun makes place for the moon and darkness. A cosy fire and good company with the sounds of the African Bush...

An angled view of our "tent". I have never seen so many spiders in one place!

This was the "washing area"! I was rather concerned about doing this chore at night with all the spiders around! We had a lovely relaxing time with no TV, no cellphone reception - just nature. The boys walked for hours every day to catch a cellphone signal!
