May 18, 2020: Due to the lockdown, cannot go on a safari, but then we only spot what is in our garden all crawling around and flying. Today was already a fruitful day.

Just another 'Garden Inspector' (Junonia archesia) against the facade of the house. It is a medium-sized butterfly - mainly brown in color with orange band on both wings and at the top purple with white spots. This species occurs along the coast of Eastern Cape - Kwazulu Natal and in the province of Limpopo and North West.

Furthermore yesterday and today a 'Regal Fruit Chafer' (Taurhina splendens) - a 3 cm green beetle that only occurs in the Limpopo and North West province. Furthermore, a well camouflaged grasshopper the 'Truxalis' in the dry withered grass. And then 2 beautiful Wood Ducks or Carolina Ducks (Aix sponsa) on our partition wall. Not surprisingly, I did not find them in my South African literature because this is a duck that occurs in eastern North America and migrates to southern America in winter but certainly does not cross the Atlantic Ocean and is therefore completely alien to South Africa. Presumably imported specimens that then escaped and have now sought refuge in Hartbeespoortdam with the lake as fantastic decor.

26 April 2020 : verslae: As gevolg van die Covid 19-sluiting van die nasionale parke, is daar groeiende spanning met diere in die Pilanesberg Nasionale Park.

Hier volg ‘n noodberig!

Dit is blykbaar chaos by die hekke van die Pilanesberg Nasionale Park in die noorde weste van Suid Afrika!

Die Beeld berig dat ongekende rampokkery, klippe skop, stofmaak en onaardse geluide die eens elegante park ontsier. Almal word versoek om vir die volgende twee ure die Hoofhek net buite Bakabung te vermy!

Almal is keelvol vir die grendelgreep wat die Nasionale Regering geplaas het op die besoek van toeriste aan die Park, met die gepaardgaande verlies aan Miljoene Rande aan inkomste.

Chacma Werfbobbejaan, wat as segsman en spreker vir die ontstoke stakers optree sê hulle is nou behoorlik gatvol (sic) vir die feit dat daar nie toeriste is nie.

Camilia Kameelperd sê dat haar hele modelloopbaan is in sy happy-kanon (sic) in, g’n foto’s van haar haal meer die National Geographic nie, sy het nou die dag probeer om by die watergat by Makorwane so lekker wydsbeen te staan om water te drink, gewag op honderde kamera’s wat flits, maar nee, daars niks. Sy drink nou al weke lank water soos ’n gewone mens, en sit met ’n senuwee wat knyp in haar boud omdat sy nie gereeld “stretch” nie.

Koning de Leeuw en Sareltjie Springbok is nét so ontsteld, hulle onderlinge gejagmakery op mekaar, Leeu wat kwansuis vir Springbok vang, sy mond vol All-Gold Tamatiesous rondswaai dat die "bloed" so spat het nou vier weke laas gebeur, hy voel sommer - die rumatiek in sy heupe - is terug! Waarvoor nou op mekaar jagmaak, wie is daar om dit te aanskou?

Amarulla Olifant sê dat hy hom nou al morsdood verlang na ’n Franse Toeristegroep in ’n omgeboude Land Cruiser, sy gunsteling tydverdryf is om daar by Tlou Link ’n “mock-charge” te doen, ore flappend, slurp gepunt. Daar is niks vir hom so sag op sy ore soos die benoude angs-gille van ’n vroulike Franse toeris nie.

Die klein Bobbejaantjies kla sommer álmal gelyk, niks oorskietkossies in die asdromme nie, niks om te dêps uit die borde van der-honderde naïwe stoppers by die vele stilhouplekkies langs die paaie nie.

Rain Jagluiperd sê dat haar werpsel nou al byna ses weke oud is, niemand het hulle nog gesien nie, en eersdaags is hulle te oud vir die Nat-Geo se Internasionale Babakompetisie, wie gaan hulle afneem en die foto’s aanstuur na Nat-Geo as daar nie kamera’s in die Park is nie?

Gabriël Kudu sê dat as hulle nou skielik weer so mooi in ’n ry gaan moet aanstap na die watergat by Mankwe, sal die kleintjies eers weer in lyn gebring moet word. Die het lankal hulle maniere vergeet noudat daar nie toeristekinders is, wie se navolgenswaardige voorbeeld van ysere dissipline, nagevolg kan word nie.

Die diere is dit eens dat hierdie grendelgreep nie vir hulle, as verteenwoordigers (en shop-stewards) van die breër dieregemeenskap, nog veel langer só kan aangaan nie. Want waarom is daar ’n Wilde Nasionale Pilanesberg Dieretuin, as die mense nie kan kom kyk nie? Waarom is daar diere as hulle nie toeriste kan vermaak nie?

Die onmiddellike plan is 'n plan van lydelike verset (met 'n drie dae lange honger/eetstaking). Die diere dreig om nét daar by die hek te bly staan, tot hulle geliefde toeriste weer arriveer!

"Die saak moet nou na ‘n kant toe!" het Chacma Werfbobbejaan die onderhoud afgesluit.

"En dringend!"

: We are all going through a difficult time, but with the help of others we will get there. United we stand, devided we fall !!!! We are in a serious crisis but patience, prudence, decisiveness and perseverance will be our victory tools !!!!! Many sectors are faced with a major challenge, including tourism, and at this time of the day, we must miss the pleasant things in life - eating and drinking together, having a nice party and traveling. But don't panic as it all comes over us unexpectedly so it will disappear again and life will come back to normal. So be patient and we can be the normal bon vivants again. Nowadays you have to realize more than once that our slogan: 'Don't dream your life - live your dream' - is the hard reality. hopes that we will be able to spoil you in Southern Africa again as we have done in recent years.

Hartbeespoort has now it's own Gin distillery. The Magalies Gin is made from 17 different botanicals. It starts out with hand harvested and peeled limes and lemons from the Magalies Valley. To balance the citrus flavours they add rose geranium grown in our own gardens. Lastly original Margaret Roberts Lavender is added which was cultivated at the Margareth Roberts Herbal Centre a stone's throw from the distillery. This endemic lavender contributes to the flavour of this unique Magaliesberg Gin. Incendo distillery's philosophy is to create individually crafted spirits, with hand selected ingredients, distilled with care and passion.
There is a bleu Magalies Lavender Gin and a pink Magalies Rose Gin.

As the festive season and holiday season has started now we want to inform all those who are planning to travel and to book accommodation in SA or somewhere else: Please be aware that making a booking through a booking engine such as booking.com, rooms for Africa, Travelground, SA places, UbuntuStay, Sleeping Out and some others can increase your prices up to 15%. All accommodation owners have to pay commission from 10 tot 20 % to get these bookings in. So a good advice is to search the name of the accommodation you are looking for on google and contact them directly so you can compare the prices. You will see that the guesthouses and lodges will offer you always a better price. The money you can save by making a direct booking with the accommodation place is a nice present to do something else with.
Happy Travel to everybody !
We wish you all a Merry X-mas and a Happy 2017

The Lippizaners of South Africa at Kyalami.
In 1562 Archduke Maximilian started to breed Spanish horses near Lipica, today Slovenia in Europe. It was a breed from Spanish, Italian and Arab-Oriental horses. Out of this grew the famous white horse - the Lippizaner that we know today.
In 1944 a select few Lippizaners were rescued from the war in Europe and brought to South Africa. Today there are about 4000 real Lippizaners in the world from 62 are in South Africa. The Kyalami equestrian was developed in 1960 by major George Iwanowski and the indoor hall was built to train the Lippizaners.
Every Sunday mornings there are performances at 10:30 at Kyalami. During the show the perfect and noble physique, graceful movements, the ability to learn, the liveliness, good nature, courage, toughness and stamina of these special horses can be admired. After ths show you can visit the stables and meet the horses.
The Lippizaners also have a training centre close to Hartbeespoortdam at Elandsfontein.
The Lippizaner show is only 40 minutes away from Ponciana Superior Guesthouse

The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.

The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE,were discovered on 29th March1974 by local farmers digging a water well in the Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits nearby Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.
Other terracotta non-military figures were found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians.

A very small part of the collection, 300 replica's, are actually in an exposition ' Terracotta Army and the First Emperor of China at the Silverstar Casino in Muldersdrift - Krugersdorp until August 24th 2016.
A must see if you don't have the time to travel to China !!!
