Greetings friends and welcome to the month of June! June always makes me think of the end of school and the start of the summer vacation season. It’s nice because it looks like most of the rain is behind us (of course this can change) and we have some nice temperatures in our forecast. That said, this week we’re talking about a new look in one of our petting areas. The Pygmy Goat Encounter. Friends of Timbavati Wildlife Park have came from far and wide to encounter our pygmy goats. We have multiple petting areas set around the park. The…
