Peter and Honest welcomed us and offered assistance with setting up camp. Our Tripper ensured that setting up without their help was effortless and provided a perfect home away from home during our visit.
We consider ourselves so very lucky to have spent a week at Waterburg Wilderness. Our souls are refreshed and the memories will linger long after we have left –
Game sightings include giraffe, nyala, impala, zebra, blue wildebeest, waterbuck, klipspringer, kudu and baboon!
Lazy days in camp were brightened by visits from both nyala and curious giraffe.
Slow drives over pebbled roads revealed spectacular conglomerate rock formations, incredible views and wilderness as far as the eye could see. Plentiful water to splash in and dams to swim in made the hot weather welcome. Visiting geologists have postulated that the conglomerate is the result of glacial action over 11 million years ago and the black stripes imbedded in the rock layer pre-date oxygen in the atmosphere.
Although there were other visitors in camp the private placement of the sites makes it certain that only the sounds of passing vehicles break the silence of the bush.
Most afternoons brought chilly winds and rumbling thunder. Very little rain fell but the temperature changes were remarkable.
When the cloud cover cleared the stars were revealed in all their wonder. Getting up before the sun brought its own rewards.
We hope that our travels will bring us back again in the near future
Itchy Feet!
