Orpen rest camp no.2 looking back the other way to where we were staying.
Orpen rest camp no.2 looking back the other way to where we were staying.
Just them bushveld trees and the sun going down. Living in Africa - classic edition.
So my project this year is to capture something of the feel of Kruger rest camps. I’ve started slow, as usual. I missed doing anything to show off Berg en Dal at all (although it has its own wonderful charm). But here’s Crocodile Bridge. The camp is just this small circle of rondawels (colonial versions of traditional houses among some South African tribes) and a very open campsite. The small size and this leafy greenness are what really struck me. It’s a lush feast for drought-tired eyes.
