Shayamanzi II
















Shayamanzi is the Zulu term for Hit the Water, and that is exactly what we did for our 6 monthly strategy meeting. We arrived at Jozini Dam on Saturday afternoon.
Our home and conference venue was the house boat called Shayamanzi II. This is a 20 sleeper house boat on the Jozini Dam which is situated in Northern Natal on the Swaziland Border. The lake is 30 km's long and 10 km's wide.
This was a first time experience for me and cannot fault it one little bit. It was amazing to live on the water for 3 days. These are just some of the photo's of the boat and the sights we saw.
Some of the animals we say where elephants, Hippo's, Crocodiles, Zebra, Rhino and Tiger Fish.

That looks totally awesome. You must have had a great time, well worth all the wait and the anxiety of not knowing where you were off to! Cool photo's and sights.

Thanks Hayley and Mark

The baby Rhino was a final bonus. It was on the shore where we disembarked.

It was worth the wait and anxiety. Zululand is my favourite part of SA. It is so amazing and beautiful.
