The badgers arrived in South Africaaaaaa!

So the badgers arrived safe in South Africa after a whole night of fighting against sleepyman at the Johannesburg airport. We got picked up by Dayne and Roger at the George airport today than they drove us to a place that kinda looked like a small zoo (but much nicer), here they keep animals (Lions, Cheetah's, Leopards, Panther, Tiger, Jakhalsen, Wild dogs: mm those where hiding, Hyena, Lynx, Rooikat, Caracal ...) that where used as pets or from a circus or a zoo or for "fun" hunting so obviously they can't life in the wild anymore and got now a better future than before. Here we switched from cars and got a ride from Piet to the place we are now staying in (soon to fall asleeeeeeeep) and damn it's just way to nice for words. Right now the view out the window is: two elephants, two springbok's and one eland! Ok pics might follow soon depends if the Badgers stay awake :)

Oh and did I mention that it was really nice how good they take care here for us? Just really good, ok gone to enjoy the outside view and sun.

  2. Jups die lynx is tam, vroeger werd die blijkbaar door een lerares hier in haar klaslokaal gehouden.
