DAKTARI Newsletter September/October 2011
By Andrea Leonard
Chico had twins!!Everyone suspected that Mummy was pregnant again, but were not sure. Then when she started nesting, they thought that Michele was going to
miss the birth as she was in France, but no, Mummy held on for Michele’s return and finally gave birth to us, Pepito & Pepita, as soon as she
walked through the door!Don’t you think we made an excellent welcome
home present?!
Mirror Mirror on the wall, who’s the cutest
little Bushbaby of them all…?
Never smile at a crocodile!
Snap snap! My name is Tugela, and this is my brother Molopo. We are new residents at Daktari and were named after rivers of South Africa.
We really love it here, we get yummy food twice a week and our own cool enclosure which has been
build for us on Ian’s lawn.
We now need to find a wonderful person to sponsor us for R250 each
per month. Can you help?
Welcome Dassies!!Hi there!!!
We arrived at Daktari in October and have settled in quite nicely. We were a bit nervous at first but now we love our
new home!Some of the volunteers think that we look evil, but we really
are very nice, if perhaps a bit shy :o)My brother, sister and I don’t have names yet, you can suggest names for us on the Daktari Facebook page!!
We also need to find a sponsor, for just R150 per month each, could that be you??

The staff at Uniross in Johannesburg, having moved to a smaller office, kindly donated ALL the furniture and computers that didn’t fit in the new place! Thank you also to ULOAD for donating a lorry and driver to bring the things to Daktari!!
GIANT HAIL STONES HIT DAKTARI!!Monday 3rd October started out as a beautiful hot sunny day, then at lunchtime the sky became dark and the rain fell. Around 4pm the rain stopped and the sky
brightened and we all went out and carried on with our chores….. Then THIS came out of the sky! Hail stones the size of golf balls! Everyone ran for cover
and Michele had to run out into it to drag poor Eeyore under shelter!Everyone (animals, children, staff & volunteers) was shocked and VERY VERY
wet but unharmed, and armed with a tale to tell all their friends!Eeeesh! I hope we don’t see that again!
Oh bother…
Pick n Pay Sustainable Living Festival
We took part in Pick n Pay’s Sustainable Living Festival in Hoedspruit where we raised awareness of, and some money for DAKTARI. We held a raffle where the first prize was a night for two people at Makalali Private Game Lodge, including all meals and 2 game drives!!We had a great weekend and luckily the weather stayed nice until Monday when we were back home!A big big thank you to Cuan at Makalali for donating the prize to us, we, and Mr Van Der Westhuizen who won the prize, are VERY grateful!
