Wake up before dawn to have a cup of coffee and a scone before leaving for the morning safari. We climb the jeep led by our Simeon and at 06:20 we leave for the usual three hours tour of safari. We go around the long and the wide but we do not see much, nyala or nkudu are our recurring photographic subjects, some are also very beautiful, but we do not see predators of any kind. We go back slowly towards the resort but at a certain point our driver leaves the road and climbs up a path that leads to a large clearing where we discover with amazement that the resort have set up the tables and all the necessary structure for the main breakfast. A waiter welcomes us with a huge bowl of hot water, soap and a towel to make us wash our hands. There are tables with fruit, cereals, there is a counter that makes only toasted bread while another is dedicated to eggs and bacon made express. We sit together with other guests to have breakfast in front of an impressive natural spectacle.
After a hearty breakfast, we go back to the Range Rover and return to the resort to rest, waiting for lunch and the second safari around 15:30. Elisa decides not to rest and strolls through the internal streets, meeting: impala, monkeys… that circulate quietly among the bungalows. We are surrounded by security men who, I must say very discreetly, monitor the surrounding area, to prevent those who stay in the resort from being confronted by some dangerous animal, since there is no fence. Plentiful lunch and … away, it starts again !!! This time the most fascinating meeting was with the black rhinos! We arrived when it was already night, thanks to the intuition of Simeon who heard them from a distance. What a thrill to see them so close in their habitat !!! We return to our “apartment” and it is almost time for dinner.
