GC2B4J9 HEIA-Reception Stripes (Letterbox Hybrid) in Gauteng, South Africa created by GEO936

This cache has been archived.

GEO936: Sadly, the establishment has new owners and they have enforced a pricey entrance fee. With the changes, geocaching is no longer a feature and the ground staff have removed our other caches with no trace of what they did with them. Almost 6 years of geocaching fun! Thank you for all the great logs and favourite points. Time to say goodbye!

The clue for you to find this cache is: "Black Stripes White Stripes Zee Bee Dee Bee Dee..." (Words from Beautiful Creatures CD by Ed Jordan).

The current owners of the property have very kindly given us permission to hide this series of caches.
Heia Safari Ranch has been in existance for 40 years. It is a hidden gem with so much to offer. Our children (not to mention ourselves) love to come here. Having wild animals such as zebra, giraffe, impala, springbok, blesbok and wildebeest roaming freely so close to you is very special. Plus there is a lot of open space creating a sense of freedom. The huge Lake Heritage has a pair of breeding Fish Eagles and its dam wall has been hand built with stone from the area by the late Mr Franz Richter who was the original owner of the property. Heia is truly a wonderful place to visit.
