CAREFREE CAMPING

We spent 3 nights in Imfolozi Park and this was our home

The tent was pretty rugged, but had great shower, plus proper loo and the separate kitchen had all s/c stuff. Just no electric between 10 pm and 7 am and had to keep the kitchen door locked (see Graham at the gate), plus the fridge and all cupboards, to keep the monkeys out. So basic, but not basic.

We were right in the bush, wart hogs in garden

– plus impala, guinea fowl and unfortunately (fortunately!) missed 4 lions in the camp one morning whilst we were out eyeballing an elephant and watching roadside giraffe, rhino, zebra and impala.

We had to bring all our own food and drink in for 3 days and cooked on the braai each night – fortunately, still no sign of mossies, but did take advantage of the mossie nets at night just in case and to give us the feeling of Africa even more. As if we could forget!P1080275
