After breakfast, it is bike packing time and having determined from the owners that there is a gravel back road out of the farm to Loxton, I am on my way. As I am leaving the manor area, I notice a road indicating the game drive and I decide to do a quick detour. Challenging little twee spoor, but very worth it. Sorry, no photos of that.
I ride along the game fence, see some big Eland, and then turn onto the pan of which I saw a beautiful picture hanging in the manor house. The trail disappears, but I continue and take the photos below. So glad that these were not also lost.
The manor house, camping area and facilities are between the trees that can be seen in the distance.
What an absolutely beautiful area. The recent rains had contributed to wonderful additional enhancing hues of colour.
