Day visit to Marakele just outside Thabazimbi

We decided to take Christine to Marekele just outside Thabazimbi. We drove and drove and drove and did not see anything exciting. Was hoping for a lion, cheetah or something really cool.  We had a picnic which the kids could not wait for since driving the whole morning and on our way out we finally got some Rhino’s.  The only excitement for the day!

Stories like this break my heart .   Poignant story of Little Skopjanka After the story of the little artist , this is a story that will not leave you indifferent.
