I often get a very poignant question: “What can I expect to see? What does one see on your safaris?”
We live in a world that is shaped according to our human needs, and one of those is predictability. It is something that we hold onto, that is dear to us, in a world that seems (it just seems that way, because it has always been like that) more chaotic.
The thing is, nature is totally chaotic. It has its rhythm, yes, but it is rather unpredictable. You cannot time things at all with nature, and one most certainly cannot “guarantee” anything. While I always say that, it is hard for urban humans to fully grasp the concept of “anything can happen”. It is true, sometimes (this is VERY rare!) guests arrive, and on their first safari they see a lion kill. Well, I have never seen one. But many seem to think that this is “normal”, only to find out that the next day they see mainly plain game. That’s nature, and it is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you are going to get.
What I can promise our guests though is that they will see a LOT if they stay 5-7 nights. A heck of a lot actually, and no safari will ever be boring. It is the unexpected that is the thrill of it all! That’s the adventure. Every day is totally different.
To give our prospective guests an idea of what one can see, I am posting here some photos of what we have seen over the last 2 days, which is quite typical in terms of spectrum of wildlife and also proximity to animals. I could look at some of these photos for hours, one is more stunning that the other.
Well, here the are. Enjoy! And welcome to South Africa if you are visiting us this year! We are looking forward to hosting you here for a safari adventure that you will talk about to your grand-children.
