The wild one’s story @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Our Sibaya Story… You have most probably already seen the gallery of the wild one, but we haven’t shared the whole story about where she came from and how she got from Witbank all the way to Sodwana Bay. We were on our way back to iSibaya after completing a 2 week contract in Pretoria, we decided to make a quick stop at Witbank Ultra City garage. We were on our way to the bathroom after taking the dogs for a walk. When suddenly this little grey ball of fluff appears seemingly out of nowhere, playing with herself. I walked right up to her and picked her up. She never made a fuss or try get out of my arms. Although she is a stray, she acted almost like she use to be someones pet. I have been wanting to get my 5 year old cat a friend for quiet sometime now since all the other pet members have been paired up together. She is the perfect little kitten, never brings out her claws when she plays, is still learning to get along with the big dogs, but has found a playmate in our Jack Russel pup. They remind me a lot about the Disney movie – The fox and the hound. She seems to love photo shoots and uses the house as her own personal palace. She is a true princess. We recently let her go free without any attachments to stop her from going to far and so far so good. She stays real close the house as much as possible. Every day there are new stray dogs and cats, either been dumped on the street or been born into their cruel world. Maybe stop once in a while and try help 1 of these poor creatures out either by giving them a new home, asking around for someone to help adopt them or calling a non-kill animal shelter to help give them a new lease on life.

KwaZulu-Natal; also referred to as KZN and known as “the garden province;  is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu (“Place of the Zulu” in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged.

Sibaya Lake @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Southern Africa’s largest natural freshwater lake Lake Sibaya is tucked against forested coastal dunes, parallel to iSimangaliso’s coastline. At an estimated 7 750ha, Lake Sibaya is the largest of its type and has been listed as a RAMSAR Wetland of International Importance. Marine canyons offshore of Lake Sibaya and the presence of relict estuarine fauna suggest that the Lake was previously connected to the sea by a large river. Its pristine, crystal clear waters fringed by pure white sand are fed entirely by run-off from the high vegetated dunes reaching 165m. No rivers flow in or out of Lake Sibaya. Check out the Hippo Pod that inhabits this extraordinary Lake!

You could also go view hippos and crocodile @ Sibaya Lake or visit one of the Nature Reserves close by. “She offers much but asks little…” No one plans on living an unhappy life – but most of us do! It’s just the way our society and our world work today. We have become slaves to the system. Work –Traffic – Eat – Sleep > REPEAT! So why are we doing this? We just got fed up with living a life without meaning – without a purpose… the burden of living in a busy city were starting to take its toll. Yes, we made money but weren’t real happy. This was of course a big step to take for us but we had too… In our soul we were drained by the senseless “coma” We need your help?
