Mabalingwe Warthog


This must be one of me favorite bush residents at Mabalingwe,
We were visited through out the day but various size Warthogs
You can see the animals are used to being fed since they stand and stare at you for hours
Distribution of the Common Warthog
Possible range or accidental records
The Warthog or Common Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is a wild member of the pig family that lives in grassland, savanna, and woodland in Sub-Saharan Africa.[1][2] In the past it was commonly treated as a subspecies of P. aethiopicus, but today that scientific name is restricted to the Desert Warthog of northern Kenya, Somalia, and eastern Ethiopia.[3]
The common name comes from the four large, wart-like protrusions found on the head of the warthog, which serve as a fat reserve and are used for defense when males fight


Swadini Hoedspruit



This must be one of my favorite holiday destinations in South Africa, The forever Resort Swadini is very kid friendly. The units are great and well maintained but basic.
The area around Hoedspruit is exceptional, with loads of things to do for yong and old
If your looking for an affordable bush break this is the place
Limpopo Hoedspruit forever resort. Landlocked by the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve and nestled amongst the Drakensberg peaks on the banks of the Blyde River, the Resort is situated 35 kilometers from Hoedspruit in Mpumalanga. The dam boasts one of the world’s largest active “Tufa” waterfalls and a 75 kilometer drive will take you to the Orpen gate of the Kruger National Park
