OUR BUSH LODGE OPENS IN 1 WEEK! | Final Preparations in South Africa

Our dream is becoming reality! In just one week, the very first guests will arrive at our new Taaibos Bush Lodge in Hoedspruit, South Africa. In this vlog, we complete the final preparations for the lodge, including building the wooden decks for the guest chalets. We also visit HALO (Hoedspruit Animal Outreach) to meet Scott, a former stray dog who may soon become part of our family. To take a short break from all the hard work, we hike in the beautiful Blyde River Canyon and swim beneath a stunning waterfall. And because it's December in South Africa, we decorate our Christmas tree in nearly 40°C heat! - Welcome to Pep in the Bush! I'm Pep, and together with my partner Jeroen, we left our life in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and made the bold move to Hoedspruit, South Africa. In December 2023, we opened our dream guestlodge in the heart of the South African bushveld. This channel shares our real-life adventures: from running a safari lodge, living among wild animals like elephants, giraffes, and lions, to exploring Kruger National Park, Hoedspruit and surroundings and embracing a new life in Africa.
