We left Jo’burg this morning, heading for Harrismith on our
way to Durban. Good drive, saw lots of
crazy things on the way – eg: a smashed car on the side of the road with a sign
on it “Speed kills” or something similar; a van with about 15 people in it
instead of the usual 5; a ute with mattresses stacked so high with not much
rope to hold them in place; mothers & children waiting at the toll booth
hoping to catch a lift. But I would
never have guessed that it would be as green as it has been. Very lovely spot to get out of the city &
head for the hills where Jeff has actually booked us in for the night.
Mount Everest Game Park is our stop for the night –
OMG! What an incredible place this is –
right at the foothills of Drakensburg mountains. Spectacular place – we wish we could have
stayed longer!  |

The activities for the afternoon was painball which was super awesome. We started off with 50 balls, had so much fun that we decided to pay for another 50! $20 for 300 balls - it's crazy! Chloe was going off her nut - bang, bang, bang, bang! We did have tin cans for our target - it was so much fun.
The other activity was a 30min game drive around the farm - spectacular. We saw zebra's (too far away to get a pic), impala's, wilderbeest (they have borrowed a boy wilderbeest to produce - they have already had a baby from this, so he will be going back to his owner soon), cows (which they milk), horses (one of the men trains them) & gazelle's.
A short drive from our cabin, they have this incredible little watering hole that you can swim in - with a zip line. They call it a "foofi" - was tons of fun..
See you all in Durban - & to see in 2016!
