Cheeky Monkey



Today the guests of Dreamfields Guesthouse had some special entertainment during breakfast. Vervet monkeys were in the garden which is actually very common. But nothing to worry about, they do not come too close because they know that there are big dogs around.

Rhino Poaching - News

A suspected rhino poacher who was discovered during a regular patrol on Wednesday has been killed by rangers at the Kruger National Park and another one was wounded.
On Thursday two Kruger National Park rangers were injured when they were hit by a rhino as they tried to arrest another group of poachers.
The poachers entered the Park from Mozambique.
Over 230 rhinos have been killed this year and almost 200 people arrested for poaching. Dreamfields Guesthouse hopes that the injured rangers will get well soon and have a lot of success in the future to stop this pointless killing.

Pilgrim`s Rest

In 1873 Pilgrim`s Rest was born during the excitement of an alluvial gold rush and soon grew into a flourishing little village complete with sturdy brick houses, church, shops, canteens, a newspaper and the well-known Royal Hotel.
The entire town of Pilgrim's Rest was declared a National Monument in 1986 as a living memory of the early gold rush days in South Africa and the town’s original architecture remains largely unchanged since then. Several arts and craft shops as well as the museums are worth a visit.
Pilgrim's Rest is situated on the magnificent Panorama Route, only app. 50 km from Dreamfields Guesthouse.
