Keep warm the Monate Way!
We were delighted to host our small group of guests this past week, some local and some international. Apparently it’s a great relief to leave the deafening air of the vuvuzela’s in the city behind for a few days! All vuvuzela’s were banned from Monate until the Bafana Bafana game on Tuesday 
Coco & Halo are always on duty
Go Bafana Bafana
The 3 siblings tucked into lunch
A rather close encounter with our rhino family!
The giraffes stopped for a quick drink & photo shoot at hippo dam
Jason & Jay are visiting from USA
The rose amongst the thorns
Jason the Cowboy
Oops, careful, he almost became roadkill
Mariette warmed up the vuvuzela for the big game!
Mmmm, Jan-Hendrik had some fun in the mud
Sorry Bafana Bafana, better luck next time
