The Wildebeest's Review of Wild Magazine Issue 35

The Winter 2016 issue of Wild Magazine advertises articles on Marakele, Mokala, Vernon Crookes, Oribi Gorge, Kruger’s Honorary Rangers and more. Sounds like the magazine will be a good read on a chilly Highveld evening.

I have not been to Mokala Game Reserve but, after reading the article, it will definitely be part of my upcoming travel plans. I learnt that the Setswana work “mokala” means “camel thorn.” I am very familiar with Vernon Crookes and Oribi nature reserves and the articles brought back wonderful memories of many birding trips to these areas.

Next up I learnt the meaning of the Tswana word “marakele.” It means the “place of herding.” Marakele National Park is a beautiful park with amazing scenery, and it has a wide range of accommodation options. My advice: go there!
