With such a lovely warm day we couldn’t resist getting bob and fluffy out of their cages for a little exercise.
And of course, no one could resist giving them a stroke and a little cuddle, not even little Keagyn!
Dan wanted to hold Bob like Daddy did
Ethyn wanted to hold Bob - honest!
Family fun!
Ethyn and Daddy play with Bob
"can I keep him"
Keagyn is now the youngest friend of Fluffy (and Bob)!
The perfect way to end the day – sundowners… well, stormdowners at any rate. The lappa appeared to be at the centre of a lightning storm, so what else to do but sip at our drinks whilst enjoying the view as lightning breaks across the valley.
No one can resist the bar 
Dinnertime for the kids is early enough that adults can relax.
Hungry tummies no more!
Can't go wrong with sausage, mash and peas!
And whilst they are eating there is time to try one of the best hot weather drinks (for the rum lovers out there at any rate) – the ‘Dark and Stormy’!

Friday the 18th November brings two families or our Amarok family weekend.
We have 4 adults, and 4 kids – it’s going to be fun!

Entering Umkhumbi Lodge
Driving up the windy track to reception
The temperature is sweltering today here in Hluhluwe, with no sign of the rain that others on the East Coast are bragging about – stop hogging the rain guys, share!!
So, what else to do but have a couple of beers in the reception car park.
Putting the kids to good use
But enough relaxing, time to unpack the cars. Remember to watch out for the Nyala as you walk up the path.
It is hard not to smile as you walk down a fairylight path
One of the family units with interleading door between rooms.
After being shown to your light, airy and most importantly airconditioned room the only hard thing to decide is what to do next – a refreshing dip in the pool or a refreshing drink at the lappa.
After a few moments standing in the sun… Pool!
