Gauteng.com's visit

We visited on a weekend morning, after beautiful African thunder showers. Some animals are walking around, others in paddocks, and the staff are friendly and helpful. All the items / entertainment purchased gets added together for payment at the end of your visit. We did the donkey milk tasting, and fed the animals. This was an experience well worth the time and effort. It is a walk from the gate and around the farm, and there are benches/tables for resting. It might possibly be a risky venture for asthma, so remember to bring any meidcation with, as there will be dust and animals around you. We had an informative talk about donkey milking, and these are every half hour. The road coming from the Rustenburg side becomes off road quite quickly and off orad vehicle preferable. The route through Afican Hills Estate is quicker and safer. Remembr to abide by the road rules due to wildlife and respect of the persons there. 

As these are animals, take safety precautions regarding general safety
