Mjejane and the Kruger National Park Region

Price range: R99.00 through R350.00
By

Mjejane has been described by one of its visitors as follows: The first time I visited Mjejane, I was captivated by the beauty of nature and the tranquillity of the surroundings. After turning off the N4, we made our way to the Mjejane River Lodge. Along the route, we passed a naboom tree the largest and most beautiful I have ever seen. Further on, we came across a natural waterhole right beside the road, where a large herd of buffalo, accompanied by playful warthogs, were drinking and enjoying the mud.
At the Lodge, we were enchanted by the large fig and marula trees in the area. A particular highlight was watching a woodland kingfisher repeatedly returning to its nest to feed its young. Another unforgettable moment was observing the warthog family residing on the premises wandering through the Lodge s lounge on their way to the pool. These are some of my most cherished experiences. Sitting with my feet in the pool, a beer in hand, and watching animals like hippo, buffalo, giraffe, and elephant from such close proximity was truly magnificent.

Buffelsbaai en die Goukamma-omgewing Van toeka tot nou

Price range: R99.00 through R350.00

Buffelsbaai en die Goukamma-omgewing (wat ongeveer 20 kilometers van Knysna en 59 kilometers van George is), word deur sommige mense as die mooiste en mees diverse gebied in ons land beskou. Woorde wat gebruik word om die area te beskryf is gewoonlik “lushof”, “pragplek”, “paradys” en “verskeidenheid”. Die natuurreservaat van 2500 hektaar bestaan uit verskillende tipes fynbos en woude, sowel as uit vleilande, vloedvlaktes, ʼn varswatermeer en ʼn riviermonding terwyl die marienereservaat uit ʼn kuslyn van ongeveer 18 kilometers bestaan. As gevolg van die mooi en diverse omgewing word verskeie (en skaars) voëls, visse, diere sowel as plante en boomspesies hier aangetref. Behalwe dat die omgewing baie mooi en divers is, het die gebied ʼn baie ryke geskiedenis wat reeds in die 1700’s ontstaan het. Marius Bakkes, historikus en skrywer beskryf die boek soos volg: “Baie interessant, insiggewend, volledig, boeiend en maklik leesbaar.”
