Welcome to Tussen-I-Bome Guest Farm
Pet Friendly (No extra cost)
After a hassle free trip of 57 minutes along tar roads, and a very short stretch of gravel, we arrived at Tissen-i-Bome just before 6pm to a warm welcome from the owner Gerhard.
Hidden on top of a low hill which forms part of the Bobbejaans Berge, the only nod to civilisation at the Wild Camp is a basic water supply and a long drop toilet. We arrived just as the sun was setting after negotiating a challenging 2 kilometres along a rough road lined by rocky outcrops that require a high clearance 4×4 vehicle. We proudly thanked our Tripper who had rolled effortlessly along behind the car – not even the eggs were cracked!
We set up quickly and enjoyed a fire. A slightly chilly wind was blowing but it was much warmer than Johannesburg. The evening was made very special by the sound of lion and hyena calling from the nearby Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary https://www.lionwhisperer.co.za/. Their sound accompanied us to bed and stayed with us periodically through the night.
Situated in the sour veld there is no green on the trees or grass and the wind rustles through the few dry leaves that remain. Amazingly beautiful rocks surround the camp and the bush veld pulls the eye deeper and deeper looking for the many birds calling a welcome to the day.
We were isolated and basked in the silence. A perfect get away that promises walks, a swim in the pool in warmer weather and peace whenever we need to get away.
Itchy Feet!
