Events developed by chance in the most beneficial way possible and we found ourselves back on the road again. Just two hours from home and we were in camp as the sun was setting.

There are three river camps at Serendipity. With only one other guest there during our stay, camp was calm and very quiet. The sound of water flowing across the rocks accompanied us through the peaceful days and warm nights; a welcome change from cold Jo’burg.

Budding dombaya and fresh ziziphus leaves signal season’s change. Butterflies and birds delight ear and eye.

The highlight of the weekend was definitely the challenging hike. The clearly marked trails have been laid out to reward the effort of each ascent and decent. Exploring the views and feeding our souls with stunning sites and sounds. Our pup walked from stream to stream, lying in the clear pools to cool off.

Waking up to the musical call of the Burchels coucal added an air of magic to our stay which we extended for an extra night, courtesy of our friendly host, because it was just too good to leave.
