Welcome To Bush Tails!

I am a wife (married to my gorgeous first love) and mommy of 2 very busy boys, and I also have a full-time job which I enjoy immensely. Yes we have dogs too called Hippy and Stirfry. Hippy is a petite toy french poodle, and Stirfry a mix of what we suspect may be boerboel and golden retriever. He is a rescued K9, therefor his unique name, and he is showered senseless with love!

I have been telling my kids African bush stories since they were babies and am now working hard to share these 'tails' (tales) by publishing them .
​
We live in Mpumalanga next door to the Kruger National Park in sunny South Africa and often go there to spend time in the bush, watching the animals - lions, elephants, rhino, leopards, hyenas, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes and numerous antelopes to only name a few. My passion for Africa and her beauty is my main motivation for publishing these stories - to educate children worldwide about this precious wildlife. All these 'tails' (tales) include informational facts that young and old alike might find interesting.

MY MAIN AIM IS TO CREATE AWARENESS FOR CONSERVATION. Our beloved elephants, rhinos, lions and pangolins are my biggest passion. These animals are senselessly murdered for so called medicinal properties they don’t even have. Lions are also subjected to 'canned hunting' which is just an atrocious trade! I cannot be in the front line to help with conservation (it will break my heart too) and well, I have a full time job! But I want to contribute in any which way possible, even just by creating awareness.
