After 2 days of travel, Martin, Denise and Teswyn gave us a warm South African welcome. It was great to see friendly faces after such a long journey.

Fire Pit
No camp is complete without a fire pit. Ours happened to have a shelter around it as the winds gust more than 20mph at night. We had a huge fire here and watched the evening lightning and heat storm pass through the area. There are no city lights just billions of stars.
Riet River
Here's our view from our camp. The Riet River is a slow moving wonderful river that split the ranch east and west. It was home to many different species of waterfowl including the Hadedas. The Hadedas is a huge bird that served as our alarm clock. You could set your watch to his call...5.23am every morning.
Our Camp
Our camp was a beautiful rock and mortar lodge. Several nights we had bats flying in the living area. It was quite funny and reminded me of my college days when I lived in the Bat Cave of St. Joseph's Cathedral at Loras. 
Down on the Farm
The concession was located on a huge farm just south of Kimberly. The farm had sheep, goats, cattle and many large alfalfa pivots.
