It nearly rained last night!

We may sound obsessed with rain, that's because we are!  After a great rainy start to the year, the tap has been turned off.  Last night there was much thunder and lightening and we eagerly anticipated some rain - it sounded and looked so promising - 5 minutes of heavy downpour was all we got!  To sustain the game through winter, we need good summer rains otherwise the quality of the grazing is severley compromised.

Repeat Guests

It is so reassuring when guests come back again again, we must be doing something right!  A couple of weeks ago one of our guests was on, we think her 15th visit (neither of us could remember exactly how many times she has been here, Lynn has been coming here for 20 years!)and her sister on her 4th - at the same time we had the pleasure to once again host the 'Raucous Drifters':  Colin, Neil and Mark on their 9th visit - the amount of gin they have consumed on 9 visits here, would more than likely fill the swimming pool!
Thanks to you all for your incredible support

February 2011

Fugitives’ Drift has received very heavy rains over the past 6 weeks. The Roads Department has been very busy repairing roads and bridges. On 4 occasions the Buffalo River ran over the bridge at Rorke’s Drift.

The Reserve is looking wonderful – everything is very lush and green, and large numbers of young animals everywhere.

Please take note of the wonderful Winter Specials – a great time to visit Fugitives’ Drift Lodge and Guest House.
