WINKEN, BLINKEN AND NOD!
Not the reindeer you know.
2 months ago, The Travers at Imire
knew that Tatenda's best friend, Hogwash the warthog, had
given birth to piglets but despite their best efforts, they were
unable to locate the babies. Every time they discovered the
burrow where Hogwash was hiding with her new family, she would
move to a new burrow. For 2 months, she visited the rhino
pens to find food but she came alone.
Then recently, all of a
sudden, Hogwash trotted up to Shanu and Tatenda followed by 3
tiny little piglets who have been named Winken, Blinken and Nod.
Shanu and Tatenda have happily accepted the new additions to
their family.
A sincere thanks to the
following people who have recently assisted us with funds:
Lawrence and Sandy King
Dorian Richardson
Sarah McGarghan
Sharise Dutlow and the Harare
Gun Club
We would like to wish you all
a wonderful Christmas and New Year and to appeal to those of you
who are spending the festive season in wildlife areas not to
feed or interfere with the animals if you are lucky enough to
see any.
At this time of year, it is
difficult to forget the despicable behaviour of some of those
who attended the Charara New Years party 2 years ago, which
resulted in the death of our big friend Tusker aka Dustbin. My
son, Shane has designed a poster which hopefully will discourage
any potential Charara party goers from terrorizing the animals
again.

Your hosts, Don &
Felicity, established 2 Off Douglas in 2002 with the aim
of providing a “home away from home” to our guests,
offering either total privacy, or to those guests who
prefer a family atmosphere, we welcome them to join us.
We enjoy creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for
our guests, thus making their stay as pleasant as
possible. It is important to note that we also have a
Generator in case of power failures.
2 Off Douglas is a
“Highly Recommended” AA Graded establishment as well as
4-Star Rated by the Tourism Grading Council of S.A.
We are situated at the
Van Buuren Off Ramp on the N3 and are, therefore, close
to O.R. Tambo International Airport, freeways, Eastgate
& Bedford Gardens Shopping Centres as well as numerous
restaurants. We have 3 luxuriously furnished units
situated on our property, which is within a road
closure.
Each room has it’s own
individual charm and have all been fitted with top
quality beds, linen and furnishings as well as all the
little extras which we feel you need to make your stay
more comfortable

Milk and Game Cubes
for Tatenda
18th August 2008
From Johnny Rodrigues
I recently made another trip to Johannesburg to replenish
Tatenda's food supplies. I collected 500kg of games cubes and
150kg of fat free milk powder. A big thank you to Keith Maharaj
and Parmalat SA (Pty) Ltd for their extremely generous donation of
milk powder.
Thanks very much
to Don and Felicity Hornsby who treated me to free accommodation
in their stunning 4 star guest house which is called "2 off
Douglas".
I normally have
to "rough it" on these food runs so this was a very nice surprise.
I highly recommend 2 off Douglas which comprises a guest house
(bed and breakfast) and a mini conference centre.
We were amazed at how
big Tsotsi, the hyena has grown since the last time we saw him. We
took several photos of him but he refused to leave the house so
the photos are too dark, however, John and Judy sent us some
recent photos of him. It seems he has developed a friendship with
their ginger cat.
