About me

I was born on 1 October 1970 as Miriam Broers in a small town in the Netherlands, called Bergeijk. I grew up there in a nice family with two older sisters. When I was twelve I became an aunt for the first time. As a child I already loved nature kind and I often walked around in the woods with my father. After the MAVO I went to the Graphic Lyceum in Eindhoven and after finishing my school in 1991 I found a job as account executive at Gestel Printing Company in Eindhoven. During my year of internship I already met Corné and in 1992 we got married. The first years we lived in my hometown Bergeijk. In 1997 we made our first trip to Africa. Because of Corné’s job we moved to Boxtel. After many travels through Africa we decided to immigrate to South Africa and to start our own lodge. After working 12 ½ years at a printing company I was ready for a new challenge.

Our three sons were born here in South Africa; Niels in September 2006, Dennis in December 2008 and Felix in April 2012. We like it very much here. I love nature and enjoy living in the bush. Also have a look at my blog about our life in the bush at; Life in the African bush.
Besides my work on our Amukela Game Lodge I write articles for Plazilla, a website where you can find informative articles about all sorts of subjects. For an overview of the articles I wrote you can have a look on my Plazilla profile. On my facebook page you can find pictures of my family, the lodge and the animals amongst other things. My other passion is astronomy and in this blog I would like to share that with you.
Further I like reading, drawing, photography and scrapbooking.
