We visited the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre today, very near the Swadini resort where we are staying. They offer a guided tour of their facilities, enabling close-up encounters with a variety of raptors, predators and other wildlife.
Visit their website to learn about the wonderful work they do to assist orphaned, injured and poisoned wildlife, and, if you are ever in the vicinity, we can highly recommend the experience.

Oh they’re amazing! I’ll be sure to write about them soon. My daughter is two and loves animals so cannot wait to let her meet the new residents! We go to a place called Hammerton Zoo. Although if describing it I wouldn’t use the word zoo its more a sanctuary, a caring community place. We love it!

Yep, it was a very enjoyable afternoon at Moholoholo – it was all we could talk about for hours afterwards!
Now we’re waiting at the Orpen Gate for it to open in 15 minutes, for one last daytrip through the Kruger Park! Thinking of you especially 😉

You’ll appreciate just how thrilling stroking a cheetah would be to a little 4 year old boy Amy! Heck, it was very exciting to me and Marilize as well!
