Some beautiful shades under the skies at Savuti.

It will be sad to leave what has been home for the last 13 years. We have planted and nurtured so many trees that are still infants to what they will become in the years ahead with their future custodians!

It’s hard to describe how beautiful the sky is this morning and how it can transform the land and our footprint!

It’s been a busy day and a half , putting branches, twigs and leaves through the chipper and mulcher. The trees will be happy after I have shared the mulch amongst them to conserve water in the hot weather to come!

Setting up a balance of nature and living!

Whilst the warmer weather is very very welcome, it’s nice to reflect on how winter can be at Savuti . This was a few years ago when we had some descent falls for a few days.

First walk of 2023 with Shiba, Jax and Myshka. Happy New Year to all :-)

We don’t have the famous male lions like on the original Savuti plains in Botswana but we do have a member of the feline family 🙂

With so much rain and cold days this late in Spring, mornings like this are to savour

A warm spring morning after the night rain that gorged the creek with early morning mist rising from the water and fallen trees creating an oasis of serenity and bird calls

The blessing from so much rain is that our Spargo Creek on Savuti hobby farm that has evolved from a bubbling / babbling brook ! A beautiful serene setting with the sound of water rippling over fallen trees and branches . A haven for local wildlife.
