Wildlife, Wet Hair & Weekend Chaos ๐๐ง๏ธ
Some days are all sunshine, zebras, and calmโฆ
Other days? Itโs soggy socks, strong winds, and "Mum, WHY are we doing this?!"
Sunday morning was one for the memory books.
Picture this: 7am, three half-awake kids bundled into an open safari vehicle (with very ambitious weather plans), wind howling through the canvas roof, and one small voice from the back yells:
๐๐ผ โI DIDNโT SIGN UP FOR THIS!!!โ ๐๐
Poor Ir looked like sheโd just survived a wind tunnel!
So, we did what any safari family would do - wrapped the kids in every spare blanket we had, shuffled them into the front seat to escape the breeze, and soldiered on to do a vehicle swap for our guests.
Cue: flat batteries, drizzle, and impala crossings.
Thenโฆ nature reminded us why we do this.
๐ฟ Impalas grazing at the park entrance.

Vultures circling overhead.
๐ Elephants spotted by H, cool as you like.
๐ฆ A traffic jam on the main road - featuring baboons and one majestic giraffe taking a morning stroll.
By the time we made it home, the kids were warm, smiling, and full of stories. And honestly? So were we.
Running a business while raising kids in the bush is wild, wonderful, and occasionally wet. But I wouldnโt have it any other way.
Because even on the messiest mornings, there is still learning to be had - Resilience. Grit. And that the best adventures sometimes begin with moaning!!!
