The Scrub Hare – Jackson Kiddard
Let today be a day where you take nothing for granted.
For life is fleeting, fragile and precious and can change on a whim.
Say all the things you really want to say to your loved ones today,
say the things you would regret should they pass on
and your words remain unspoken.
Rejoice, for you and they are alive today –
and should you or them pass on to unknown shores,
rejoice even more for you have a wonderful love story to tell.
Happy Easter
from all of us at Londolozi

Love to see the pictures of the Easter market every year. This year is stunning Anna. It look amazing. Well done.
Wonderful job by the staff! Hard workers abound at every camp we have been to in Africa! Beware, scrub hares, we just saw a cheetah grab one in Kenya. That hare did not stand a chance with the hungry cheetah! Happy Easter!
Thank you Darlene – was a lot of fun setting it all up!
What fun it all looks. You all put so much into it. Well done!
Thank you Les!
Wow, wow, wow! What a fabulous and decadent Easter celebration! Well done. We wish we could taste those eggs and that inspired lamb right now! Can’t wait to see you all in a few months. Happy Easter to all!
