This past Friday Rob took Tate, Austin and Siyabonga as well as the 2015 trainees from the year-long beta program to the Drakensberg mountains.

Everyone from the states arrived safely after a couple of long flights. Out of the 12 that came, a few weren’t feeling so well, but still fun to see their tried eyes and smiling faces. It was a VERY busy week. Our first few days were spent in Pilanesberg National Park. We saw some of […]

and today started off like any other day. Karabo (one of the trainees) hadn’t been feeling well with on and off stomach pains. He woke us up at 5 AM this morning and had said he had thrown up all night long. We suspected it was a bit more serious when he couldn’t even stand […]

Well, their flights were smooth, and they are enjoying their time at home. Tanner has been riding Austin’s bike, and checking in with our EGGS4AFRICA chickens. We had bets if Hunter (one of our very first chickens) was still around and Tanner happily reported to us today, that YES, Hunter is still kicking. Rob and […]
