Afternoon - Jeep Safari

For Lunch, we went back to Camp Davidson. Owen advised us to eat as much as we can, because we would return back quite late to the camp quite late (9pm instead). We were advised to pack warm cloths and bring our cameras. So at 1.30pm Abraham came to pick us up for a 1.5h drive towards Doornstok, the private game park close by.

This game park is owned by 4 South-African shareholders and because of an internal dispute, only jeep safaris are allowed in this park and no guides horse riding. It felt like a good brake in between all of our riding, plus our muscles could get a good rest. The game park has antelopes, monkeys, lions, leopards and elephants. So 4/5 Big Five’s, except for the buffaloes.

Tip: The tour starts around 2 and finished around 7pm, so make sure to bring really warm clothes for the evening. I brought my scarf, extra jackets and even my riding gloves. The jeep is open, so you feel all wind coming in. The jeep also offers some blankets to share togethers, so it was very cosy in the evening with the sunset and animals.Read more
