A Precarious Game Drive


9 April 2012

A late start to the day allowed the sun to dry out our soaked campsite whilst we waited for Petro’s famously scrumptious beer bread to be made in Andy’s trusty Cobb. 

Luke and I enjoyed the afternoon game drive from two relatively unstable camp chairs on the back of Andy’s bakkie. Luke perfected his photographic skills on the multitude of game we encountered in the peaceful sun-kissed veldt: Kudu, eland, rooihartbees, springbok, steenbok, mountain zebra, black backed jackals, a jackal buzzard, baboons, golden orb spiders… the list goes on. 

That night Luke and I spent much of our time in the clean, bright and above all, warm communal kitchen, Luke sorting out his backlog of pictures and myself patiently working my way through my university homework. Sleeping in beanies and multiple layers of clothing meant that we were better prepared for the biting chill that enveloped us all too quickly.
