SOMIZI’S LAVISH BUSH VACATION
Mpumalanga is one of the best places to spot some wildlife in Mzansi. With several game reserves, you are guaranteed to spot a leopard, lion, elephant, rhino, or buffalo.
Somizi took a road trip to Mpumalanga on Wednesday 9 March and said the road was his “happiest most peaceful” place.
“I think cause I was born on the road when my mom was on tour that’s why…” wrote Somizi.
The talented choreographer stayed at the five-star Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve which borders the Kruger National Park.
