We went on our first official family holiday this weekend and had A BLAST! I love game farms but have only ever gone to stay for work, so really wanted to share the experience with Rob & Aidy (yes Aidan didn’t care one way or the other) We opted for Kragga Kamma Nature Reserve because they promised luxury accommodation and animals right around our lodge ,it’s close and the reviews were great, also as game farms go it’s really not pricey AT ALL . Must say WE LOVED IT!!! The first eve already I noticed a rustling in the bushes outside our place and guess what, there was a herd (I think herd is right word-small family really) of Nyala just outside our lounge and we woke up to different foot prints in our front yard and giraffe watching us from a short distance away (Probably amused by the wild haired woman rushing about to find the camera she swears she just had in her hand) It was so amazing. Aidan even stared in wide-eyed wonder and tried to call both zebra and giraffe to him like they were domestic pets and went silent with shock when these giant birds (ostriches) came to check out our braai (thank goodness we weren’t making ostrich steak, awkward much, hehehe …We could do game drives whenever we felt like (except for after 6 because then the animals run the show-even more so than usual) walking away from your cabin/lodge and so forth is frowned on, GAME DRIVES people not GAME WALKS…they have a quaint yet sturdy bridge which connects the different accommodations and leads to the bush café it also leads to a cosy entertainment area where log cabins surround a fire pit, perfect for singing Kumbaya around a bonfire while making smores (if you are into that sorta thing) We had so much fun!!!
Will def go back when Aidan is bigger and appreciates it more also take friends with… The picture opportunities are amazing! See my pics attached (very chuffed with my nature shots)
