Your hosts will also prepare a South African ‘Potjie’ (cooked in a cast-iron pot, the way our pioneers did it). On a moonless sky, one can experience the heavens as seldom seen in the city.

An approximate 2 ½ hours easy walking trail will lead us to at least 10 Bushmen painting sites. (Don’t forget your hat and sun protection lotion).
