On our way back to Cape Town we stayed at Malelane Bushveld Wonder, an Airbnb where they raise and breed animals for other game preserves. The owner has taken it upon himself to help save the rhino population. He has over 600 rhinos and has moved them from this ranch to one in an area less populated to deter poachers. Matt, his grandson, entertained us during our stay. He loved the guinea pigs and delighted in telling us all about them. Little did he know they were raised as bait to catch predators that attack the birds they are raising. He was such a delight to be with. What a fantastic place for a child to grow up.
The guest cabin was lovely and came complete with an affectionate cat and dog that were happy to stay as long as we were happy to have them.
The birds were lovely to watch…
as were the other inhabitants of the reserve.
Lovely flowering trees were abundant on the property.
Leaving here we headed to Golden Gate National Park with its very striking scenery. Prior to arriving we passed fields of these lovely pink and white flowers.
