Dag 20: Africamps in Pongola Game Reserve en Lake Jozini

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The next location is a glamping location of Africamps White Elephant in the Pongola Game Reserve. In the morning we make a big boat trip on Lake Jozine, where the Pongola Game Reserve is located. The lake is very quiet and the mist lingers for a long time. This makes the experience much calmer than bouncing around in a jeep in the morning looking for a lion. Now we don't have to do anything, and that's nice. In the afternoon we stay at the tent and I amuse myself with birds.
