Reporting Date: 27.01.2012
We set out at 6.00am for our sunrise spot in the hills in our private conservancy. As we left the camp, we heard a lion roaring near an area known as Leopard's crossing. The lion heard our vehicle and evaded us. We thus continued on our drive to see the sun rise. At the sunrise spot we had tea, coffee and hot chocolate with croissants as we watched the stunning sunrise. The location and the views were just perfect as hyenas laughed in the background. At about 7.15 am we set out for a walk back to camp. The walk which lasted about 2.5 hours was very exciting with sightings of various game including Giraffes, Elands, Birds, Topis, Grant's gazelles, Impalas just to mention a few. The most interesting part was when Daniel the head scout enthused our guests with his great knowledge on ethnobotany. The two plus hour passed without us noticing and soon we were back at the camp for breakfast.
This is just one of the activities one can now enjoy at our camp within the now expanded private conservancy.
