Mountain Zebra |
We spent the Tuesday exploring the park and were very pleasantly surprised at the beauty of it and the amount of game there was - especially the Mountain Zebra which has been likened to a donkey in pyjamas!

Garth, Denise and Doggy |
We were joined in the evening by Garth and Denise Perry who live at Cape St Francis and who also have an Afrispoor trailer. Garth was my mother's godson and we grew up in Cape Town together. As they arrived late, I did the cooking that night and we had a super evening catching up on all the news.
The Wednesday morning, we went our separate ways on a game drive, met for a brunch at the Perry trailer, and then all got into our Land Cruiser and had a wonderful afternoon together, doing a 4x4 trail, and eventually in the late afternoon we saw black rhino, ostriches engaged in their mating dance, and finally to top it off, a cheetah crossed the road in front of us, and we watched it trying to decide whether to attach a herd of zebra and eland, until a large kudu bull came and chased it away from the grazing animals. By this time it was getting dark and we had to be in the camp by 7pm. Dinner that night was a braai at the Perry's, and once again we had a wonderful evening. We were both leaving early the following morning.
