9 weeks to go...a wonderful week of training at Zabula in Limpopo province!

Sunday 30th December 2012 - 7km "Hike" on the Blue Gum Hike at Zabula!

My mom and I went for an afternoon walk along the Blue Gum hiking trail! It was stunning! We saw waterbuck, zebra and wonderful birdlife including a levailants cuckoo which I have never seen before!
We stopped at Python dam and enjoyed the rainbow and the tranquility of the dam from the bird hide!
