Daktari wishes you a Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year for 2013. You are invited to read our November - December 2012 Newsletter.

1. Daktari Newsletter
November – December 2012

2. I am Willie, the scrub hare, but
the small children call me a
bunny. I keep busy patrolling the
enclosure, which I share with the
tortoises. They are very slow &
lazy, so it is my job to look extra
busy to make up for them.
‘Snuffle, snort’, which is ‘hello
there’ in Herbie speak. But I will
switch to English now. I love living
here at Daktari. The best time is
walk time, when I go out with
people and the dogs. And food
time is not bad either!

3. Hi everyone, I recently got
surgery to fix my injured wing
and I’m stronger than ever! My
vet (Provet wildlife Services)
says there is a chance that I can
fly again. Scotty is back at
Daktari 
I can see you are looking at me and I don’t
blame you. As you know I’m Storm the
Spotted Eagle Owl and I’m just awesome! I
arrived recently at Daktari, because I fell out
of the nest. When I’m strong enough, which
I’m sure I will be, I will go back to the wild!

4. Hello, we are the dormice and I just
pooped on my brother’s head  I
did it because I can! I’m sitting on
him, but also my sister. We like to
have fun & sleep. When I was just
born, I was all alone with my
siblings, luckily Daktari adopted us
and they promised to release us on
Christmas day!!!
We love it here. There are many
games that we play in the trees
and around the Lapa. We don’t
mind sharing the Lapa with the
volunteers at all. We also love to
play with Loki, who is a great
buddy even though she is much
bigger than we are.

5. To raise money for Daktari, we decided to start a fundraising contest. The competition

animals of the bush. It
was such a cool
experience, especially
when the elephant was
sooo close!
Hi, we are students of
Maahlamele eco-club. We
were lucky enough to be
invited on a game drive
sponsored by Kristie’s
Camp.

16. We are getting great lessons every week at our eco-club about
animals, nature and all sorts of subjects. It’s interesting and
fun. Our teacher, Risette, is going a bit crazy lately, so now we
were wondering if you would be able to help her out and
write some lessons for us that she can teach us?
If you are interested, please contact Risette for more
information, info@daktaribushschool.nl
Thank you, as you can see, she needs it.

17. We are the young
ABSA students, we are
all still in high school.
We had the awesome
opportunity to visit
Kruger Park for two
days!
We want to
thank ABSA
for the great
trip and uncle
Ian for all the
driving and
explaining!
We saw a lot of animals! We
even had the opportunity to
eat in a real restaurant and
sleep in great Rondavels.

18. I had the opportunity to meet
Kutullo’s father. He and Kutullo
are so grateful for the donation
from Ditte and Greg for his
medical check up. Now
everything is in order for him to
apply for South African Wildlife
College.
Hi, my name is Grace. I have done a test to get
into Southern Cross School. A really awesome
school, where I will have all the opportunities
and the challenges I need to realize my
dreams. I passed the test!!!
Now we are looking for sponsors. Please have

Christmas present in the world!
Thank you!
