Having grown up in Tzaneen and the bushveld it is safe to say I enjoy the outdoors, bushveld and spending time with my family and friends. Reading is another one of my interests. I'm a wife, mom, daughter and teacher. I love travelling and experiencing different places and their cultures.

The well-known Kruger National Park is situated approximately 100km away and a 30min drive to the magical Haenertsburg.
