Plot 126 used to be a vegetable farm years ago, it's the biggest of all the plots.

The river plots are 10-12 hectares and the rest vary from 20 -30 hectares.

Do the animals roam freely between all the plots or are they restricted to only one part of the reserve ?
The animals are free to move anywhere. You are allowed to put up a fence in close proximity to your dwelling. We have already had plenty anumals in the fenced area, including Leopard and Elephant. Already had all the other big 5 on our plot as well as Wild dog. We have Hyaena here regularly as well, but the best visitor so far has been the Black Rhino.

Whooo...this looks like a bit of a dronkword place...and not for us poor people... :no:

But absolutely marvelous! O/\

And huge baths! O\/

Does Tony know you are showing these details, Flutts? --00--

The unfinished concrete inside looks nice and cool, and very clever the 1 way glass! ..0..

Their plot is 21 hectares...so quite big.

The shower is at the end in front of the window. ;-)

Yes he does. ;-)

I also like the concrete, although it isn't completely unfinished...they've done something to it to give it streaks and different colours. \O

Venturing a bit further away from the house.

I really liked the dead trees used as art. :yes:

Image

Tony had to dig the driveway himself from the main road to their property which is not a short distance and is at quite an incline. My car battled a bit to get up and we dug up half their gravel when we reached the top! O**

Image

Tony had just finished building this little waterhole the day before we got there.

Image

Anita showed me two frogs which have taken up residence. One on top of some gadget...

Image

...the other inside the gas braai, which they have moved a couple of times, but it keeps returning! 0-

Image

We moved it again, and this time it stayed away from the braai. :-0
