Thinking I had missed my guests and waiting for them to walk through the arrivals, I was happily greeted by Jacques, Marino and Sofieke. They were very happy to have landed after a delay on their flight and were very excited to be exploring South Africa with me for the next three weeks.
 Rodrigo's arrive at King Shaka Int. Airport | We set off to our first stop, Krantzkloof, where we stayed the night at the Eagle’s View B&B. Arrived a bit late in the evening but managed to find a suitable restaurant called the Station where we ordered food and drinks quickly. Everyone was keen to get back to the B&B to get a good night’s rest. The next morning we enjoyed a hearty breakfast with a beautiful view of Krantzkloof which the B&B overlooks. We departed and headed to a close by view point to take some photographs of the magnificent kloof and surroundings before making our way to the Drakensberg. |

After driving for a long time and the guest appreciating the landscape as we approached the Drakensberg we were at the foothills of the Amphitheater and ascending to Thendele camp. We were all in absolute awe at the size of the mountains, the position of the camp and what we would see on our exploration in the mountains. We were fortunate to have good weather, which made our hike to Thukela Gorge a super photographic opportunity. The Rodrigo’s really enjoyed walking through the afromontane forest, they had never seen anything like it before! We were lucky to see many different animal species including the Gurney’s Sugarbird, Chorister Robin Chat, Small Grey Mongoose, baboons and bushbuck. Cascades was another highlight, short walk to get there where the guest had an opportunity to take photographs of the waterfall, selfies, bushbuck and very attractive Gaudy Commodore butterfly.
