Mjejane Accommodation promises an abundance of game drives and warm sunlight, so your suitcase is probably stuffed with sunblock and floppy hats. But, any good holiday helps us to disconnect. Make room for a book that will get your feet up and give you wildlife fever! Here is a selection of books – for readers and non-readers – to get you inspired. For Reference … Cat Among the Pigeons – Animal Myths, Musings and Matters of Fact by David Muirhead is so much more than your average anthology. It is a compilation of wonder – humorous, whimsical, and entirely unrespectable. With sketches, folklore, and facts, the animals become quirky characters and, just like us, a bunch of weirdos. Other handy guides relevant to Mjejane Accommodation: Stuarts’ Field Guide to National Parks and Nature Reserves of South Africa and Trevor Carnaby’s Beat about the Bush – Mammals. For Literary Fanatics … Literature nerds, listen up! Green Hills of Africa by Ernest Hemingway chronicles the author’s month long travels through Africa, voicing his passion for African wildlife and landscape. With an overriding sense of awe, he captures the African Dream! Lemonade on Mjejane’s veranda, overlooking the Crocodile River, anyone? Alexander McCall Smith’s The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is all you need to complete this scene. Fall madly in love with charming characters from Botswana’s soil. Mama Ramotswe’s adventures will immerse you in a delightfully slower-paced, sun-baked world. For critically acclaimed African reading at Mjejane accommodation, lose yourself in these: Half of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Olive Schreiner’s The Story of An African Farm, In the Heart of the Country by J.M. Coetzee, Mafikeng Road and Other Stories by Herman Charles Bosman, Fools and Other Stories by Njabulo Ndebele. For Art Fanatics … Moods of Nature by Heinrich van den Berg brings art to the page, both visually and textually. Poetry and philosophical musings accompany magnificent photography that is stripped of colour and splashed with wild orange. The perfect book after a long day of Mjejane bird watching! Another photographic beauty: Just a Blade of Grass by Paddy Hagelthorn. For Kids … Ronald Destra’s The Zoo recounts an argument that breaks out between the animals. Witty and charming, the book navigates manners, temper management, and relationships, while being curiously fun and beautifully illustrated. Excellent kids reference books: My First Book of Southern African Wildlife and Lonely Planet’s Let’s Explore … Safari. (Psst … The latter contains interactive activities to distract your kids from turning car seats into art as you drive to Mjejane Accommodation!) If these books are making you long for the roar of lions, Mjejane Accommodation offers the ideal spot to experience the African bush. Take a look at our available homes and book a holiday to remember!
