Located in the citrus area of the Sundays River Valley, 20 min. from the Addo Elephant Park there are plenty of Accommodation types to suite any length of stays. ADDO Place of Mercy and Hope Pre-Schoolers Sponsored Outings KRAGGA KAMMA GAME RESERVE - CQEBERHA THANK YOU Hoa Wunderli - Switzerland THANK YOU Hoa Wunderli - Switzerland 1/65 Hoa Wunderli, from Switzerland, together with other Swiss sponsors collected monies to treat the Grade R's from Place of Hope Pre Primary in Valencia Township, Addo, to a trip to a private game Reserve in Port Elizabeth. Hoa, a teacher from Switzerland, has comes to spend her summer vacation here at Addo Umlambo Bed and Breakfast, doing volunteer work at Addo Township. She together with the teachers prepares the children for these kind of trips and then does follow up work with them based on this project. Thank you Hoa, and all the sponsors for the generous donations. Also a big thank you to Kragga Kamma Game Reserve, who gave a huge discounted Game Drive. Africa Live it Love it Tour Operators, thank you for all the organisation, negotiations, bookings, pictures and getting this project on the road. A personal message from me, Marga Davis, wild life and nature being my passion - there was nothing nicer than seeing the little children enjoying a game drive through the park. This is a treat that many many children can not afford - so REALLY REALLY a BIG THANK YOU to all involved. I hope that these young learners will be inspired and have the opportunity to serve as conservationists in our beautiful Greater Addo Elephant National Park GRADE R - HOBY BEACH - GQEBERHA View More Marga Davis - Addo - Bamba iAfrika Live It Love It THANK YOU Hoa Wunderli - Switzerland Marga Davis - Addo - Bamba iAfrika Live It Love It 1/118 Once again, dear Hoa Wunderli, (Switzerland) together with Umlambo B&B near Addo, and Africa Live it Love it Tour Operators (Marga Davis/Stefan Klein) sponsored the Grade R class of the Place of Hope in Valencia Township, Addo, with a trip to Bayworld and Hoby Beach in Port Elizabeth. We were blessed with the only day of sunshine.....and had the most beautiful day ever. None of the children had ever seen the sea before - so the squeaks and screams, told it all. The day ended with ice creams, which went down well, and topped the most beautiful day ever. The photos of the museum trip will follow shortly. Thank you to Sisters Martha and Breda, for coming to give us a hand, and for all they do. Thank you to the teachers and parents who came with us, so that all the children were well looked after. And of course, thank you sponsors. We have posted all the pictures, as all the parents would like to see their children, and one day, when the children are bigger, they might have access to the internet to share and remember these memories. You have absolutely NO IDEA, the amount of pleasure, it brought these beautiful children! LANGBOS CRECHE - ADDO - MAYIBUYE NDLOVU VALENCIA GRADE R - SPONSORED EDUCATIONAL OUTING 1/24 VOLUNTEERING IS A FORM OF HELPING TO BRIGHTEN THEIR FUTURE. The community of Langbos live in dire poverty, in shacks without lights and water. Many are HIV positive, and alcoholism and child abuse are wide spread problems. As a citrus growing area, Addo has only seasonal work and 70% of the community is unemployed between December and March. All these factors contribute to the high incidence of dysfunctional families. With the help of the Sundays River Woman’s Institute, churches and international guests a humble little playschool called Inkwenkwezi (which means star in Xhosa) was built. It is kept open during the holidays. There is an annual summer school for 90 children in December offering different experiences, sport, computer, arts and crafts, music and dance. YOUR TIME and LOVE is a wonderful form of donation. Thank you Hoa Wunderli THANK YOU Doris Sommer - Switzerland 1/50 Marga Davis, from Africa Live It Love It and Doris Sommer , organised a trip into the Greater Addo Elephant National Park for the Grade R's of Valencia Township - Addo. The children, who live right next to this beautiful Park, here in Addo have never before had the opportunity to see these gentle giants. As Marga’s two passions in life, ....the love of children and.....the the World of Nature, she strives for all our children to have the opportunity to experience an outing to a National Park or Game Reserve. Some of these are beyond financial reach for some families. With the help of financial aid from Doris Sommer, THANK YOU SO MUCH , an outing was arranged. Hopefully we can sponsor many more, so that the love for nature, can be instilled in their heart and the want to learn to become a ranger or ecologist, might grow from these outings.

Outreach, Social Community and Volunteer Projects driven by Marga Davis, have been enriched by enormously by our International 4x4 African Guided Self-Drive clients. THANK YOU Social Outreach Inspire to be the best human possible. Remember that you can make a positive difference in the lives of many or even change the world for just one person Africa has a turbulent history, resulting in a great divide between rich and poor. Many Africans live in poverty and struggle to meet every day needs. MY MISSION Is to encourage people to volunteer/donate for worthwhile work in developing countries. I expect that doing this kind of work will in time become the norm. As more and more people join, I aim to create a multi-national community with a passion to serve, to learn, to understand, to teach, to inspire, and to be inspired. MY VALUES I believe in helping where help is needed, even in far-away places, whether it is needed by an individual, an organization an environmental project, or an entire community. I try and respond to needs as effectively as we can with our abilities and our resources. MY COMMUNITY I believe that our clients, colleagues, our volunteers, and our partners, who make up our multi-national community, determine our success. I recognize that each individual has a unique ability to contribute, which we must nurture. CULTURE I believe in the value of cultural exchange between people from different communities; such exchange helps to create a world with greater mutual respect and understanding.

The School is in the small town of Mapai in southern Mozambique . It is a semi-arid region. Mapai is served by a station of the southern railway line which runs between Maputo and the Zimbabwe border at Chicualacuala . It is also an important road crossing, with the Chicualacuala-Maputo road meeting the road from Pafuri and the road to Banhine National Park .

Mobile Safaris include comfortable open 4x4 game drive vehicle, your tents and all meals and the services of a private Safari Guide and Driver. Delve deep into Botswana's wilderness Guided Mobile Camping Safari WHAT IS A GUIDED MOBILE SAFARI? IN A NUTSHELL An authentic way of experiencing the wilderness in Southern Africa Closer than ever to nature Same hosts from beginning to end for an ever-growing discovery and experience of the destination and the environment. Also great value for money WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN ON A GUIDED MOBILE CAMPING SAFARI Each night you stay in a mobile tented camp in a private campsite. While wild, the mobile camps are by no means uncomfortable. A full camp crew builds the camp, which consists of large dome tents with camp beds and duvets. A small bedside table gives space for your book and torch. The crew members are the masters of the mobile camp, erecting tents in minutes, producing three-course meals from a kitchen under an acacia tree, and heating water for bucket showers over an open fire. They are incredibly good at looking after your every need, from a hot chocolate outside your tent on a chilly morning to your favourite glass of red wine around the campfire at night. Camp facilities : Basic ensuite facilities are provided with a canvas basin of water, ensuite bush loo and bucket shower, which will be filled with hot water when you return from game drives. If you are a family or travelling in a group of four or more, it is often both cost-effective and great fun to take a private mobile safari across the country. The beauty of this is that you can tailor the trip exactly to your interests, staying in private wilderness spots.

With world-class service, untamed beauty, and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife moments, this is adventure, elegance, and soul-stirring magic combined. Fly-In Safari Packages Time is not on your side. Let me put together a package working closely together with the following specialists By definition, ‘fly-in safaris’ we refer to the fact that your transfers to and from your final safari destination will be by plane rather than road. Fly-in safaris are a much more convenient and time-saving option, maximising your time on the ground and allowing you access to remote, off the beaten track parts of Africa. Although typically more expensive than a drive-in trip, it can well worth spending the extra cash for such a sensational trip. Typically, a fly-in safari package will include flights via a small Cessna or Caravan aircraft from the international airport where you first land – and the journey across beautiful landscapes on a tiny plane is a unique experience in itself. You’ll head out into the bush by air, sometimes landing on just a dirt airstrip in the middle of the wild, which adds another edge to the spirit of adventure. This is a really fantastic way to see the wilderness and you’ll get some awesome views from the air on the way.

Hello, I’m Marga Davis, a proud Karoo girl from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where I had the privilege of growing up on a sheep farm near Aberdeen. With roots in Bavaria, my parents brought a rich cultural heritage into my life, and I’m fortunate to be fluent in German. This skill has been invaluable when working with my many German-speaking clients. I’m a dual citizen of both South Africa and Germany, and I love both countries equally. I settled in the Sundays River Valley, in the heart of Addo’s citrus farming region, where I raised four children. During their younger years, I embraced the bush life as an Honorary Ranger at the Greater Addo Elephant National Park. As they grew older, I pursued further training and became a National Field Guide, offering private tours throughout the region. Once my children left for university, I expanded my horizons and began guiding clients across Southern Africa. With over 25 years of experience in the travel and tourism industry, I am passionate about wildlife, people, and the beauty of both Africa and the world. As a seasoned travel consultant and nature enthusiast, I take great joy in offering clients memorable, high-quality experiences. Whether planning adventures in new places or guiding clients through nature’s wonders, my goal is always to ensure they return for more. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, visiting national parks, watching wildlife documentaries, taking nature walks, and continuously expanding my knowledge of flora, fauna, and emerging travel destinations. MY LOGO is an expression of my LOVE for AFRICA AFRICA - you LIVE in IT and LOVE IT
