Dinner at Abangane Guest Lodge

At Abangane Guest Lodge we pride ourselves in fine dining which our guests always enjoy.

However, home cooked food is sometimes the tastiest. Tonight we had meatballs with broccoli in a sauce béchamel and boiled potatoes.
Yummy!


Should you prefer the home cooked style, just let us know with your booking.

Wildlife in South Africa IS dangerous!!

Early this morning we got alarmed by one of our staff members to please come and see one of our dogs. That was a rather rude awakening!!!

Schroeder, our "Opa" Rhodesian Ridge back (10 years old) obviously had an interesting encounter with a porcupine during the night (see photo).

A quick trip to the Vet relieved us. The quill just found its way under the eye along the cheek bone and has done no damage!

Lake Panic @ Kuger National Park

Besides the obvious, the Wildlife at Kruger National Park, there is so much beauty to it which people often oversee.

Lake Panic, on the road from Skukuza towards either Kruger Gate or Phabeni Gate, is always worth a stop. Just sit there, relax and let the landscape work on you. The Lake is very well frequented by various birds and often hippos can be seen just a few meters in front of the wooden decked hide.

Lake Panic is just an hour's drive from Abangane Guest Lodge and worth a sunset visit.

Anti Poaching action at Kruger National Park

The ongoing poaching at Kruger National Park is a serious problem for the Parks management.
We today could witness the anti poaching unit searching for suspect individuals by helicopter ( see photo) and on foot.

The latest media release reads as follows:

South African National Parks (SANParks) announced today that the Kruger National Park (KNP) Rangers arrested another Mozambican suspected poacher in the national park on Monday evening, 12 July 2010.

Sabie River Golf Club

Now that the World Cup is over, we again find the time for the weekly game of golf.
To play a round at Sabie River Golf Club is not just playing "golf ". The course layout is very interesting with lots of water in play (so make sure you have enough balls).
Besides a good or not so good game of golf, it is worth a visit in any case. The Sabie River flows through the development and also non-golfers are welcome for coffee and cake on the terrace and walk around to observe hippos, crocodiles and birds.
Attached are two photos we have taken yesterday afternoon.
The Golf Course is located directly across the street from Abangane Guest Lodge, on the R536 , in Hazyview.

Back to normal

After 4 weeks of World Cup time, everything at Abangane Guest Lodge in Hazyview is "back to normal".
We hosted some of the most interesting soccer fans from Chile to Japan, Germany, France, UK, the USA and numerous other countries.
It proofed to be as exciting as we expected it to be. Congratulations to the Spanish team on their success. A thriller of a game! We unfortunately could not see the winning goal live as our power supply company Eskom decided to have a problem the moment the second half of extra time started. What a disappointment!!
Now our focus is back on the "game" (as in wildlife).

We thank all our guests for staying with us and wish them everything of the best!!

Germany-Argentina. Hurayyyyyyyy!!!!!

A part of the remaining group of over 50 men (and women) of the Fan club “Sektion Mitteldeutschland” enjoyed the glorious win over Argentina at Abangane Guest Lodge.
We cannot wait for the German “Elf” to repeat this in the game against Spain.
