Back to nature

Our time in the bush was not only memorable, but pretty chilly too. We stayed at Kwafubesi tented camp, situated in the Mabula game reserve. Although the camp is pretty luxurious, the tents remain tents, and the nights get cold in June. Nevertheless, the days were warm and we had a pretty relaxing time.

Amongst the animals that we saw: Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Hippo, Giraffe, Impala, Kudu, Hartebeest, Blesbok, Springbok, Ostrich, Warthog, Zebra and a porcupine. Some of the birds worth mentioning - Lilac Breasted Roller; Yellow Billed Hornbill and Crimson Breasted Shrike (probably one of the most beautiful bush birds you can ever hope to see).

Below...some of the better pics.

The thatched lapa that we had breakfast, lunch and dinner at.







The main dam, and watering hole. Also home to the familt of eight Hippo that we saw.
