In early morning, see the swirling silver mist in valleys between surrounding hills,the red orb of rising sun and sparkle of dew drops on vegetation.Hear the raucous cry of hadida ibiis,the haunted lament of the fish eagle and krok-krok of purple-crested loerie.Observe an amazing wide variety of bird life among flowering trees and shrubs.

At the lapa with romantic hardwood fire,enjoy the rustic evening tranquility and pungent aroma of the lowveld.

Hear the melodious song of the heuglins robin, bulbul and oriole underneath the flat-topped Paper-bark tree which dominates the back yard of the manor house,the chatter of vervet monkeys,the sharp call of francolin and guineafowl and the strange bubble sound of white-browed coucal in the distance towards the spruit.The rising full moon,over surrounding hills adding to the romantic atmosphere.Later, at night,hear the lonely hoot of the spotted eagle-owl and the sharp call of a nightjar around the house.
