A whirlwind safari recorded on Greg’s ‘dash cam’ as he guides a game drive at Africa on Foot in the Klaserie. A chilly winter’s morning with a bit too much wind last week meant that a game drive was opted for over a walking safari, and Greg mounted his camera to record the bushveld cruise that led his guests to various sightings, including the Ross Breakaway lionesses having a lazy start to the day.
The clouds were rolling in with the icy wind, and the bare winter trees swayed in double time as the time lapse captured the scene from Greg’s point of view. Enoch, Africa on Foot’s tracker, is positioned in the tracker’s seat at the front of the vehicle, bundled up in warm clothes to fight the wind chill as he scans the ground and surroundings for signs of animal movement. After a visit with the Ross Breakaway females, Greg moves on to enjoy some warming coffee and rusks at a spot in the Klaserie bush.
Enoch and Greg pull out the picnic table and attempt to lay the table cloth despite the wind. Flasks of hot water, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are set out alongside a selection of rusks, which, in South Africa, are a staple accompaniment to your hot beverage! Guests stretch their legs and enjoy a warming cuppa while admiring the unfenced Kruger surroundings before its time to hop back into the game viewer and continue on safari.
Once the stomachs start to rumble, it’s time to return to the lodge for breakfast, followed by a day of leisure in Africa on Foot’s unfenced bush camp and eventually a second game drive – this time, including your choice of sundowner beverages to sip on while enjoying the picturesque sunset!
