⚠️ Sighting at Howick Falls ⚠️

Early visitors this morning reported a rare sighting of the legendary Inkanyamba at the base of Howick Falls. A few onlookers claim to have noticed unusual movement in the mist… 👀🌫️

Long spoken about in local folklore, the massive serpent-like creature — said to have a horse-like head — is believed to dwell in the waters below and is often associated with powerful summer storms.

If you’re visiting today, keep a close eye on the falls… you never know what might be lurking beneath the surface.

Mischief alert! .. Elf's antics have brought pure mayhem - from farm gates & stable doors left wide open to uprooting our baby mielie plants! 🌱 Frightening off the trout.. 🐟 hiding the tractor keys & nicking diesel from the farm shed.. The little guy has driven our fly fishermen and farm manager crazy.. 😉

Wishing all a Joyous Christmas with love from the Midlands. 🫶🏻

Ps: Until next year.. love Elf.
