Two River Hiking Trails
This is a two day hike with a total of 20km.
On day 1 you park your car at the ccottage and start your journey through the veld.
The forest is filled with butterflies, it feels like you're in a Disney movie. There are plenty of spiders with intricate web designs, do your best to not walk through the webs - some spiders are poisonous. There are wild horses and buck.
Your hike on day 1 ends at the Medbury cottage where you can shower and make a fire.
Day two is a little more challenging with a steeper walk and puff adders a long the way. Definitely wear long pants and closed shoes.
You eventually make your way back to the cottage where you parked.

Travel in South Africa | Stay in a luxury hotel in a wildlife reserve
I often wonder, what is the meaning of travel? [?] In fact, it is very simple, that is, in the limited life, we can travel more and see different natural scenery and cultural customs to enrich our life. All the encounters during travel are unforgettable and precious to me [RedHeart]. Looking back on my last trip to South Africa, the wonderful journey is still vivid in my mind [DoubleHearts].
On the first night of our trip, we stayed at Pumba Private Game Reserve in Grahamstown Highlands. For travelers who want to capture the charm of Grahamstown city, Pumaba Private Game Reserve is an ideal choice. It is approximately 48 kilometres from Port Alfred Airport.
The wild hotel is located in the 600-hectare Pamba Private Wildlife Reserve. Although there are only more than 10 guest rooms, each one is uniquely designed. The 180-degree glass doors and windows maximize the camp landscape into the room, and the outdoor terrace There is also an open-air small swimming pool and an open-air shower room. If you are lucky, you can interact with animals while soaking in the pool and enjoy a wonderful travel experience where people and animals live in harmony [DoubleHearts].
When staying here, you can not only enjoy a variety of fine wines and food, but you can also sign up for the "Wildlife Safari" program and have a close encounter with the "Big Five of Africa". The room rate is about ¥4,000 in the off-season and double that in the peak season. Because the number of rooms is limited, reservations must be made in advance [Smart].
