| Night
drives are exciting and if following a pride of
lions after a herd of buffalo takes us past the
time of a full moon rising, so be it. We call our
own tune.
The
areas used for mobile safaris may vary according
to local conditions (late rains, flooding, game
concentrations, etc.). We like to reserve flexibility
of destination so as to offer you the optimum conditions
for the duration of your stay. Traveling is in an
open game-viewing vehicle with a sun canopy. Accommodation
is comfortable, in bug proof bow tents with decent
mattresses, duvets, pillows, sheets, towels, etc.
We erect a double compartment (for dressing) shower
and a toilet at every camp. We sit down to a proper
dining table with china plates etc.
Early
mornings usually begin with tea or coffee and biscuits,
before going out on our early morning game drive.
We take along a coffee box for a coffee break half
way through the morning and then return for a full
brunch before taking a siesta through the hottest
part of the day.
After
a snack of fresh camp bread, cheese board, chutneys
and pickles, we set off at about 3:30 -4:00 pm for
the afternoon drive. Depending on the area (outside
of the National Parks or Game Reserves) we often
take a spotlight with us and return after dark to
see a bit of the wildlife at night. Dinner is served
with a good choice of red or white wines. And the
ice bucket is always full! Our staff are well trained
and do all the hard work for us (you do not have
to participate in the erection of the camp or other
camp duties). |
