Dear friends,

I was just wondering, do you still recall those wonderful sun drenched, lazy days of barefoot frolicking with the feel of warm soft dust between your toes, the tranquillity of the Bushveld, the trees, the birds, and the graceful impala? Would you recognise the smell of fresh, warm milk or even remember where to milk the cow?

Don't you miss the sounds of the bleating sheep or the thrill of riding your sweaty steed, both of you equally exhilarated from your shared encounters with zebra, kudu and giraffe? When last did you feel the warm glow of a flickering campfire on your face as you sit and gaze aimlessly into those mesmerizing, dancing flames?

Don't you miss the silence, the peace, the sensation of soaring freedom you get from looking out over the endless plains from your vantage point atop a secluded "koppie"? Do you remember how the Bushveld skies come ablaze each night with their star-studded jewels?

Most people remain totally unaware that there is still a haven right at their fingertips where such fond memories can be rekindled, and this Bushveld paradise is me. SONDELA is the name I was given, and it means "Come Closer".

Hook up the trailer, load up the kids, don't forget the wife and hit the big road North past Pretoria. A short 1½ hours after leaving the bustle of Johannesburg, there will be no mistaking the minute that you arrive on my doorstep. On my behalf, the Hoep Hoep will welcome you with his friendly call and the giraffe will bow their graceful necks in your honour.

Take a deep breath and relax... I will show you a good time, like you have never had before!
