Nselweni For Kerry’s 30th

It seems that Nselweni has fast become the venue of choice for big celebrations in our family. A few years ago my mom held her 60th here and, since my sister sadly missed it, she decided to host part of her all-African 30th birthday adventure in the same camp.

With four days to play with Sharon and I opted to take Emma to Mkhuze Game Reserve for her first ever Easter. We of course invited granny who loves the bush, and amazingly my sister flew out from the UK to join the adventure. So a family Easter in Mkhuze it was. Not knowing how …
