South Africa - Friday (Feb 29)

I was able to get everything wrapped up with the client by mid-day on Friday. So, I took the afternoon off an headed out of town. As I mentioned, Francois setup a really great driving trip that took me in to the middle of South Africa. I was able to see some fantastic country during the drive. If you're following along on a map my route took me out of Cape Town along the N1 then a turn on to the R60/62 at Worchester. I followed this route through Ashton, Montagu, Barrydale, and Ladismith. My final stop for the evening was in Oudtshoorn at the Buffelsdrift Game Lodge.








Buffelsdrift game lodge is a private reserve which has a semi-resort atmosphere while also having a number of exotic animals. You stay in tents but they aren't really "tents" in the traditional sense. More like houses with canvas walls. Running water, electricity, tubs, showers, etc. Here are some pictures from my evening there.
