FAMILY & FRIENDS of OWNERS

HIKING DAY and PHOTO COMPETITION

15 December 2010

We invite family & friends of owners to visit the estate on 15 December from 08h00 - 13h00 to explore the hiking trails and take photos to enter into the photo competition. Report to the estate office to receive your Wild Fig cap, the map and details of the competition.

HIKING TRAILS

Feedback from our owners on the new hiking trails:

"I just want to comment on the pleasure the walking trails are giving Gary & myself!

We have also had friends & family to stay lately--and we have all had a marvelous time taking a different walking route when the occasion presents. We live on such a beautiful estate and these walks really give us pleasure to enjoy the beauty that is Wild Fig! You never know around which corner you will walk into the 2 giraffe or the zebra or the wildebeest! I even saw the Impala, the other day!!! I have yet to walk to the waterfall---a real waterfall?

So, to those who laid out the pathways, a very big THANKYOU.

I hope all residents get as much pleasure from these trails as we do."
