Oribi Foggg

There is a spectacular gorge in South Africa called Oribi.

Or at least, there are rumours.

In my personal experience, there was a cute little macadamia and lemon farm hotel with very friendly hosts, an adorable hound dog, peacocks, and rooftop-dancing monkeys at about dawn.

Other highlights include a tasty vegan pizza at a cute n funky diner, a crackling campfire made for us by Armstrong, named after the astronaut, and a dazzling lightning display with torrential rain.

All in all, a wonderful place even without being able to see the gorge very well.

And a good reminder: "adversity" can be opportunity. If we hadn't had load shedding turn off the power, we probably wouldn't have thought to enjoy a campfire outside in the rain. But we did, enjoy it, very much.Read more
