The Meerkat Siblings at The Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge....
A short while ago, a person working at the lodge stumbled upon two meerkat
babies while inspecting the hiking trails. Whining, the two sat by the
roadside with their mother nowhere in sight. He then took them to the
Lodge where they have since been looked after by
the Lodge manager. The two meerkats were
tame within a week and have been getting ever more confident every day.
They have moved into the manager’s apartment for good and follow him
around wherever he goes.Once in a while they will also make an appearence in the lodge when they want to play. They especially enjoy the diversion whenever we
have theres children around, as both love to be carried around, hugged
and petted. The two of them have wormed their way into everyone’s
heart!!!!!!
