Right in our own Backyard



Thrive Africa’s home base is a game reserve that they purchased in 2002. 2500 acres of sprawling countryside and beautiful mountains, and home to more than 700 animals including zebra, wildebeest, springbok, blesbok, fallow deer, waterbok, eland, ostrich, lechwe, and rock rabbit. Here are some wonderful pictures my housemate June took. As I mentioned, the horses are pretty comfortable roaming in between our houses and offices. Most of the other animals roam a little further away making for a spectacular morning or evening hike. One year when I was here, we had a few ostriches roaming around blocking our path back to our team house. Very cool, until one of our more daring folks tried to get closer – Ostriches are not very friendly. It’s pretty amazing to have all these animals around the base. Enjoy!
