mangwa valley game lodge

The blog got a new design. Hope you like it! I thought it was time for a change.

A couple weeks ago we attended a B&V company outing at Mangwa Valley Game Lodge. About 40 people in the Outage group attended so we got to meet more B&V expats living in ZA.

It took us about 3 hours to get there because we got lost (UGH!), but it was worth the trip. We got up close and personal with rhinos, giraffes, springboks, impalas, zebras and more. You guys know my obsession with giraffes and rhinos, so I was THRILLED to see two baby rhinos and a baby giraffe!!!!

Here are some photos from our trip to the game lodge:
