In Jan 2016 this became a reality and I arrived with my wife and 4 sons. Marnice and Jan-Piet were again the loveliest couple in the world and made our stay unforgettable. Boubou is a little garden of Eden situated amongst the African Bushveld it\u2019s a place where you relax and sink into tranquillity. I love this place and I will return, Jan Piet and Marnice and now held as good friends and we keep in touch, I can't thank them enough for extending the welcome they showed me in 2013 and to my family in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His promise to return and it came true, in August 2019 he returned and this time he invited good friends with him.\u00a0 The family of 5 as first time visitors to South Africa had the following to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have just returned to the UK from an amazing stay at Boubou B&amp;B. It was our first time in South Africa as a family and we had such a great time. Boubou Bed and Breakfast is a fantastic place to stay and all the staff is so friendly. The facilities are first class and there is so much to see and do in the area. I would recommend Boubou and South Africa to everyone and we can\u2019t wait to go back\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We spend 8 days with the 2 families, enjoying our South African braai tradition at the fire pit and enjoyed interesting conversations under the open night sky while listening to the Fiery-necked Nightjar\u2019s call in the background.\u00a0 We also spend 2 days in the Pilanesberg National Park and loved the enthusiasm and appreciation for our fauna and flora.<\/p>\n<p>We are already looking forward meeting these travelling families from the United Kingdom in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_&quot;1_3&quot; et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_&quot;1_3&quot; et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_&quot;1_3&quot; et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_3 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2715"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2715\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3134,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2715\/revisions\/3134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bldemos.co.za\/boubou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
