The Bushveld Bulletin
The past few months have truly embodied the spirit of what Monateng Safari Lodge stands for – "A Place of Joy." We’ve shared laughter, danced, and sung together. And as we lounge on the deck, embracing the awe-inspiring beauty of nature, we celebrate the camaraderie we've built and eagerly anticipate the adventures yet to unfold. We're committed to ensuring that you, our valued Shareholders,
 

soak in every facet of the African bushveld, immersing yourself in the tranquillity of your home-away-from-home. As we transition into the cooler months, we find ourselves reminiscing about the sun-drenched days that made every moment at Monateng unforgettable. So, as we embrace all the wonders that winter brings, allow us to delve into the first half of 2024 with you.

Valentine’s Day

On Valentine's Day, each unit received a sweet surprise during check-in. The surprise gift included heart-shaped chocolates, a pen, and a Valentine's Day crossword puzzle. The day was packed with romance–themed activities like Valentine’s crafts, painting, Valentine's bingo, dancing with musical chairs for couples, crafting personalised cards, testing couples' knowledge with quizzes, and so much more!

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was just as egg-citing as previous years! As guests checked-in, they were greeted with a tasty treat - a cute mason jar decorated like an Easter bunny, stuffed with chocolate and speckled eggs. The Reception was beautifully decorated with fun Easter bunny decor. And let's not forget the little ones - an Easter egg hunt was the highlight for kids, adding an extra sprinkle of fun to the Monateng festivities!

In Closing...

As we reach the end of this newsletter, we want to assure you that it's not a goodbye, but more of a "see you later." With winter upon us, it's the perfect season to gather around the fire pit and create moments that will last a lifetime. As the saying goes, "There's no greater feeling than being surrounded by family, wrapped in blankets,

 

and watching the flames dance in the fire pit." – Unknown. We are grateful to you for filling the Resort with the sounds of your laughter and look forward to experiencing what the second half of 2024 has in store for each of us. It’s time to return to nature and unwind – Monateng Safari Lodge awaits your return!

Warm Regards
