2. Caline gave birth to another beautiful little girl named Elfie on
10th November. She is such a sweetie and loves to be cuddled!
Our Bushbuck Maxi has given birth to her second baby girl who
sometimes comes into camp with her mummy, but she’s very
very shy!!
Spring is the season of falling baby squirrels! We have raised and
released over a dozen so far, they are soo cute, and a few of
them are VERY friendly, and even help you drink your drink!

a returning volunteer from
Australia I raised Aus$2000
by making and selling
muffins!

My wonderful friends and
family donated a whopping
US$4500 to put a new roof
over our heads before
rainy season!

4. The Daktari Outreach Programme was launched in
November and is going from strength to strength.
When Risette
comes to our school we are very happy. We
love to learn about the environment and
animals and all the jobs that we could have in
the future!
Risette challenged
us to see which class could collect the most
rubbish, we won!! The whole village was the real
winner though, as it is much cleaner now!

10. At Daktari we have many different people, from
many different places, with many different beliefs.
We try to make everyone feel at home, so when a
celebration is to be had, we all join in! In November
we celebrated Thanksgiving, with our American
volunteers, we had a roast dinner and apple crunch
dessert, and we all stood up and said what we were
thankful for.
December was time for the
Dutch tradition of
Sinterklaas, secret presents
were given, games were played
and hats were made. Then after
the festivities, the usual Daktari
Madness ensued, beginning
with “Let’s see how many hats
Laura can wear at once!”

11. The Dassie names, as decided by our Facebook friends are…
Roley, Poley & Foley. Hopefully they’ll have some little “olys” to
add to the group.
It’s snake season here at Daktari, it’s a harsh reminder that we do in
fact live in the wild! Rangers from the local reptile centre came to
rescue us from a Black Mamba in November & a Spitting Cobra in
December. Thanks guys!
As well as the baby squirrels that fall from our ceilings, we also
came across a tiny baby bat, we made a plan and the cute little
fellow was quickly back in the loving arms (or wings!) of it’s family!
