Those who know me best will realise that, if the weather had been ๐ŸŒž, I would have been outdoors and not responding to your wonderful Birthday messages and calls ๐Ÿ˜‚

But the glorious rain ๐Ÿ’ฆ is still falling and coming down harder nowโ€ฆ thereโ€™s a good chance that there will be no comms at home on the reserve The Savannah Africa shortlyโ€ฆ

So I want to grab this opportunity to thank you all ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’•, especially the youngsters who filled the gap while my own Cale and Tess are not near.

Itโ€™s been a very special leadup to my Birthday (as my FB page pics show) and tomorrow will be spectacular ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Our Story

Email [email protected] or call Renee +27 71 448-4332 to book guided game drives, trails, birding and nature paddle adventures. Our business is Conservation ~ Education ~ Community. We were the first private nature reserve in the Free State to proactively protect our Rhinos from being poached, using Rhino Rescue Project's revolutionary horn toxin and dye infusion. Come learn all about it! Due to the spike in poaching incidents in the country and in the area, we recently relocated our Rhinos to a place of safety. The Savannah Africa was founded by Renee de Jong Hartslief to create a legacy for her children Cale and Tess, a safe haven for indigenous wildlife species, and an education facility for all cultures and generations. We are fully stocked with indigenous game such as Buffalo, Springbok, Giraffe, Impala, Kudu, Nyala, Waterbuck, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbok,and Sable Antelope.
