When we went to the entertainment area at Modjadji there were warthogs visiting. Natalia was amused.
Of course we spent a lot of time in the pool 'cause it was sooo hot!!! Dolly came with us so Kim and I could go on game drives. Otherwise we would have had to go alone..... Dolly got to go on her own game drives which she has never done before. She thoroughly enjoyed it and rattled off all the animals she'd seen.
We were lucky to see the elephants on Saturday morning, because shortly after this one of them got ill and no one was allowed to view them.
The Secretary Bird that Kim spotted
Giraffes are my favourite wild animal.
Yum yum peanut butter sandwich, mmm
Natalia loves filling cups and pouring - here she is drinking the pool water!
At the kiddie pool at Modjadji
Playing in the braai area. She was full of ash, but she loved it!
At the kiddie pool at the main lodge. Natalia couldn't wait to get in.
The water was freezing which was very unusual as it was stifling hot.
In the kitchen - I couldn't resist taking this photo
Dung Beatles are important too..........
We were lucky to see a Rhino, perhaps for the last time as they are now on the endangered list due to a number of people thinking they can do what they want. I hope the poaching stops!
And at the end of the day, a beautiful sunset in the bush...........
We left early on Monday morning, which gave us 2 whole days there. Monday was Dolly's birthday and it was also Natalia's creation day - she was conceived 2 years ago.
This was most likely our last visit to Mabula as Kim is going to sell the timeshare. We've been going there since 1988 so its been a good run. I would never have dreamt of taking my own child there one day and now its happened......... Now its time for bigger and better things.
