That\u2019s why I have to miss out another amazing safari in Hwange National Park.

So, we put her quickly in a paddock on her own where she started to give birth shortly after. All of us were just standing next to poor Donha, watching closely if everything went alright. One more amazed than the other. 45 mins after, a cute little female girl is now a new member of our family. Another 45 mins later, the foal managed to stand up and wobble around, trying to find some milk. This was quite a mission and took until the early afternoon when it got finally some milk. By now, it\u2019s just a lovely little beauty, jumping around and growing healthy. We are all now waiting for the second foal to be born, which could come every day from today on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/B32F372D-D811-4058-8CEE-D3423504C2D2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1782\" class=\"wp-image-1782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/B32F372D-D811-4058-8CEE-D3423504C2D2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/B32F372D-D811-4058-8CEE-D3423504C2D2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/B32F372D-D811-4058-8CEE-D3423504C2D2-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Donha giving birth to a little girl<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-19 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CFB46A47-CF7C-4AD2-9091-8D1FBA6BD99F-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1781\" class=\"wp-image-1781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CFB46A47-CF7C-4AD2-9091-8D1FBA6BD99F-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CFB46A47-CF7C-4AD2-9091-8D1FBA6BD99F-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/CFB46A47-CF7C-4AD2-9091-8D1FBA6BD99F-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">First moments in life<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-21 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AEA11FEF-48AB-4094-8F8B-6AFE29A25B6D-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1784\" class=\"wp-image-1784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AEA11FEF-48AB-4094-8F8B-6AFE29A25B6D-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AEA11FEF-48AB-4094-8F8B-6AFE29A25B6D-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AEA11FEF-48AB-4094-8F8B-6AFE29A25B6D-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Step by step to see the world<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><b>My new lessons learned&nbsp;<\/b>while helping in Cawston Wildlife Estate:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Having the magnificent chance watching a foal being born, is just about the best way to start a Monday ever in life!<\/li><li>If you feel like you ran a marathon while feeling as if you have the flu, you might have been infected with tick bite fever.<\/li><li>Always count your pills the pharmacy hands you over, otherwise you might end up with half what you paid for.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cheers to wandering the world<\/strong>&nbsp;and the wonders of our lives, hope to see you soon \u2013 bye bye, salut and lisale kuhle \u221e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, Bonjour and Salibonani from Cawston Wildlife Estate, Northern Matabeleland where I help for about 2,5 months with the horses.
