Mountain Sanctuary Park - 30-12-2008

As an extended family we visited Mountain Sanctuary Park on 30 December 2008. It is about 120Km from Pretoria in the Magaliesberg mountains. Well, not high up in the mountains anyway. Here are the pics from that trip.

The picture above is of the Buffelspoort Dam. That should give you an idea where Mountain Sanctuary Park is situated.

MonteCasino: Gardens, etc

MonteCasino Bird Park's gardens are quite stunning. Almost like a little Eden.







It is not just birds at the MonteCasino Bird Park. They have other creatures too!

MonteCasino: Buildings

There are some very beautiful buildings at MonteCasino Bird Park.

In October we visited the MonteCasino Bird Park, Fourways, Johannesburg. It is definitely worth the visit. Here are some pics.



The next one preferred my lap!


We could buy a type of porridge that we could then feed the birds.
