The flower for the month of May
The Lilly is the flower of the month of May. It is an extremely poisonous plant however an extract of the plant, digitalis glycosides, has been used for Centuries to help treat heart ailments. The Lilly of the Valley’s fragrant flowers are also used for wedding bouquets.
As we enter the season of Autumn there is a significant drop in temperature and the Tourism associations are now using this gap to go out and promote their product by arranging a few tourism exhibitions.
Our local economic Development department together with the North West Parks and Tourism Authority took several Entrepreneurs to this Year’s Indaba event for product promotions. Buffalo Ridge was also represented.

As is already known to everyone who is in this industry the Annual Tourism Indaba is held in Durban. It did not disappoint as it drew large numbers of stake holders for this year and there were several Awards ceremonies as well.

Game Viewing
Madikwe is already known for its good game viewing rewards, like this group of Kudus at the Mineral hot–spot located just below the Inselbergs. It is common to find several antelopes licking the soil in this area to supplement their minerals.

Bush dinner for the Scottish Life group with entertainment galore. Tshepo and Julia (buffalo Ridge chefs enjoyed the bit as well) We have been successfully hosting this big group for three years with “Club Excel“ which we share amongst three Madikwe Collection lodges, (Tuningi, Motswiri and Buffalo Ridge). We have a good relationship with them already and each year they bring gifts for the school kids. These gifts really help as they include writing and reading materials.
