Before arriving in Kruger for a 2 wk vacation, I reached out to Johnathan Patterson and explained my interest in visiting his gallery and in any Wild dog artwork he had. Explained I was going to be coming by the gallery before leaving back to the USA and was hoping on my vacation to spot my obsession....Wild Dogs. I was hoping to see them before leaving the park and then buy a piece from Johnathan to savor my experience forever. Well last morning in the park, we were surrounded by 30 dogs including 13 puppies for almost an hour in the road and I knew I needed to have something to remember that day. I arrived at the gallery and Johnathan was waiting to show me all the galleries artwork. He showed me a piece he had just finished of a Wild Dog and immediately I was in love and bought it. I returned home and decided to buy another piece of art from another artist Johnathan showcases, Andy Anderson. I wrote to Johnathan, explained what I wanted and bought it. I received it today and couldn't be more happy with it. Johnathan kept me updated on the shipment and where it was and it was carefully wrapped. I am returning to Kruger next August and plan to visit Johnathan again. His gallery is very nice, the artwork is incredible and to me very reasonable. The shops at the Casterbridge are very nice and I was able to pick up some last minute souvenirs before going back to JHBG. If you have the time, stop by this wonderful gallery, you won't be dissappointed.

The museum and art gallery in the shoe needs recognition for its fine artwork and Biblical message attached to the beautiful wood artwork. Then we took a guided tour through the caves with the sculptors daughter. In every cave there is a story, and in a way it reminded me of what I saw in the Sistine's Chapel in Italy. The sculpture work and lighting is really a hidden gem and very special. The Godly and the Dark Forces we have to fight every day. A Biblical cave I have never seen before!

Nestled 20 kilometres north of Ohrigstad, on route to Tzaneen, the Three Rondavels, the Echo caves, Bourkes Luck Pothole and a must see - the second largest gorge in the world - The Blyde River canyon, is the THE SHOE GUESTHOUSE. Shaped as a large, single boot shoe that resembles the nursery rhyme of the Old Woman in the Shoe, this attraction is a non-negotiable stopover. The attraction boasts accommodation and meal facilities, as well as, surrounded by an African context boasts a museum of crafts and woodwork. At a small additional fee, you can enter the museum and feel the ambiance of original African art, with wooden sculptures of Mother Mary, and various African wildlife. This museum also provides a peak into furniture and clothing from the 50's and 60's, which adds to the eclectic environment of the Shoe. A must for photographers to stop and place their mark at the shoe, with souvenir photos, and any tourist will simply delight in its natural, African environment. The Shoe Guesthouse is a must to either stop or sleep over. An experience that one will not easily forget.
