Kobie Kruger, Mahlangeni and All Things Wild and Wonderful

In the eighties Kobie Kruger lives with her husband, who is a ranger, and their three young children in the Kruger Park. She wrote two books about her life in the African bush. With a lot of love for nature and a good dose of humour she describes her life on a remote ranger post. They regularly have adventures with animals and she even raises a lion cub. The books are a must read for anyone who loves stories about Africa and the animals. On Todio you can find an elaborated review of the books.

Since we live here in Balule in our own piece of African bush, I sometimes feel

like Kobie Kruger. Fortunately I don’t live as remote as she did and we can bring our children to school everyday instead of leaving them in a boarding house during the week. But we did have our share of adventures with animals during the seven years we live here now, as you can read in this blog. To feel at home here in the bush requires a passion for nature that we luckily both have. Our children are already infected with it and are very enthusiastic when there are animals around.
All in all we are very happy here in the African bush.
