Just 10 days after the veld fire, Drakenskloof is already showing signs of new life. The Sugarbush protea, with its solitary seed cracked open by the fire, stands tall among the landscape.
Last Friday, a devastating veld fire swept through all 1,000 hectares of Drakenskloof. Thanks to our incredible team, professional firefighters, and local farmers, both India House and Mapacha House were saved, though much else was lost.
Captured two days following the devastating wildfire that ravaged Drakenskloof, these photographs illustrate the damage inflicted upon the local flora and fauna, while also highlighting the fortuitous survival of our houses and gardens amidst the destruction.
