Bookey Peek

Bookey Peek's family lived on Stone Hills Wildlife Sanctuary in the Matobo Hills for many years. They raised and rehabilitated numerous different animals, from birds to badgers, but unless they were unable to fend for themselves, every one of them was returned to live out their lives on the 6.500 unspoiled acres of granite koppies they called home.
