Our friends, Jan and Janneke, invited us to join them for an
extended long weekend at their bushveld house situated on the border of the
Kruger National Park. The house is located right next to the Crocodile River
and we were treated to daily sightings of hippos going in and out of the water,
a variety of other larger and smaller game, and all the bird species you can
shake a stick at. The most memorable was the “resident” elephant parade that crossed
the river to our side to feed on the trees 10 meters from the veranda!
Now, this alone would make for a memorable break, but to add
to all the excitement my husband got to play the fabulous Leopard Creek golf
course (twice) – his scores adding to our long-running suspicion that, if he
were a professional golfer, we would starve. As for Daniel he could not believe
that his earth-moving toys were not allowed in those vast expanses of manicured
sand!
