Week 23 - Waterberg retreat

We spent last week at a small resort in the Waterberg, a lovely bushveld region near the Botswana border. Our cottage was very comfortable, with thatched roof and all luxuries. No cell phone reception...

Conita Walker "adopted" a baby rhino which was abandoned by its mother.

The Rhino is now about 4 years old. Visitors can hand feed it.

Interesting how many parasites can be seen in the bush, particularly during the winter when there are few natural leaves. These parasites are spread by birds and seemed to thrive on this particular type of tree.
