I spent at few days – including my birthday – at one of my favorite places – Pakamisa Private Game Reserve – http://www.pakamisa.com.
Pakamisa, as most of KwaZulu Natal, is still suffering under the very dry weather conditions. There has not been any substantial rain for a long time and this winter (dry season) will continue to be very difficult for “man and beast”. It is not the lack of water but the lack of food which is the major threat to grazing species during a drought. Pakamisa is now supplementing food to help its grazer population to survive the winter.
These are a few pictures I took during this relaxing stay. I have a few more days to myself before I will be back to work at Thanda Safari!

Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your travels . And we do certainly ENJOY!
I love these images. They make me want to go there. Is it expensive? Dreaming.
Well, Pakamisa is quite affordable. Especially for foreigners, considering the current exchange rates from Euro/US Dollar to Rand. I recommend to check out the website http://www.pakamisa.com (it has a rates section) and contact them in case you are interested in a stay 🙂 – All the best – Christian
