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.
