Are you a hard-core birder with a lifer that you want to tick off your list or perhaps you're just keen to get out and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sunshine over a gorgeous picnic basket made from the finest home grown, grass-fed, free-range local farm produce?
Either way, this auction listing might be of serious interest to you!
Introducing the second oldest town in Mpumalanga, the quaint and historic Wakkerstroom!
A place where life still revolves around the large church square, where sheep, goats and horses are found grazing next to the houses, and donkey carts can still be seen on occasion in the streets.
A chance to be transported to a bygone era of wholesome outdoor living.
This destination is personally right at the top of my list of ideal getaways as this sort of outdoorsy type retreat is what I live for.
I could rattle on all day about the variety of activities available in and around Wakkerstroom that you can experience during a trip here.
But I'll save you the extremely lengthy post and instead highlight just one incredibly special aspect of Wakkerstroom.
And that is its international recognition as a superior birding destination. It holds national biodiversity importance and boasts wetlands, grassland, and forests!
More excitingly for our birders, this means that if you would like a chance to see some very special birds such as Rudd’s Lark, Botha’s Lark, Yellow Breasted Pipit, Blue Korhaan, Blue Crane, African Marsh Harrier, Red-chested Flufftail, Corn Crake and Southern Bald Ibis to name just a few then this is the perfect place to do just that!
Currently available on auction we have a 2-night stay for two at the beautiful DeKotzenhof Guest House! Go to www.facebook.com/groups/bidontravelauction/ to place your bid.
