An amazing break away just an hour from home. Riverside Paradise offers a friendly welcome and, despite our arrival after dark, staff were on hand to show us our site and help us set up. Of course with our marvellous Tripper I was able to set up on my own in just a few minutes while Clive concentrated on starting the fire.
The fees include a braai on each stand, with a water point; tables and chairs (if needed), as well as all the activities, canoeing and hiking. Near the stands with no electricity, there’s a wooden kitchen with electricity, fridges, microwave and 2-plate gas stove, to use free of charge.
Chicko was able to roam freely with lots of other pups visiting for the weekend but, although we could hear the other visitors we were alone on the group stand and able to revel in the stillness and beauty.
The 5km hike was wonderful if slow. We were very pleased, and surprised, that we were able to complete it in relative comfort after the past two months of compromised health. How great to be alive and well again!
The amazing birding was topped off with repeated and clear sightings of the African Finfoot and half coloured kingfishers.
A definite ‘visit again’ venue.
Itchy Feet!
