Yesterday was a huge day for Hoka. We rushed him to his vet in Cape Town for intensive tests, ultrasounds and x-rays. Suspicion was something was wrong with his kidneys. After two hours of anesthetic and examination, he was found to have spinal arthritis and some old scar tissue. Happily, we can say Hoka had a clean bill of health beyond that and he received his annual shots for rabies, etc. He returned to Gecko Creek a bit bruised and battered but should be fine by tomorrow morning.

Preparing for our new Massage Tent
Relaxation Massage
Gecko Creek now offers massages to guests. Samson’s wife Hazel (who will go by her Shona name Shumirai, meaning “someone who does good”) is currently being trained by a fully qualified thereapist at Gecko Creek. All the staff at Gecko Creek have already experienced her healing massage and we can comfortably state that she has a natural talent!
Camping at Gecko Creek
Returning Guests
We enjoyed a cup of Nagle (traditional coffee brewed in Israel) with our friends Talya and Ranny this morning. They stayed at Gecko Creek in November for a few days while enroute to Namibia and now again 3 months later after travelling throughout southern Africa. Safe journey on your return home tomorrow to Isreal. We know you’ll be back!
