Aspects of the bush normally overlooked when driving around a reserve in a vehicle are now observed, allowing a greater understanding of the ecology of the region. We will be guests at the ranger's camp for three nights. Situated on the banks of the Klaserie River, the camp is rustic and comfortable with open air shower and flush toilet facilities. The tents are furnished with proper beds. The floors are carpeted and there is mosquito netting on both doors.
Meals are prepared over the open fire.
Each morning we rise early and after a light breakfast we head out into the bush for a few hours. The idea is not to see how far the group can walk, the walks are designed for enjoyment, observing and learning. A number of hours on foot may result in only a few kilometers being covered. We return late morning and after brunch spend time relaxing or bird watching in the camp during the heat of the day. Mid afternoon, we again spend a few hours in the bush, returning to the camp after dark for dinner.
