The next three days are jammed pack with driving, but it’s not so bad because the scenery is pretty stellar, so much so, that at times it actually reminds us of Canada.
For our first evening we take the recommendation of the owner of Nelspruit Backpackers and camp in Chelmsford Nature Reserve, which is a small little nature reserve located near the town of Ladysmith. It’s currently winter in South Africa so it’s very quiet in the park and as we drive to our campground we see lots of zebras and antelope.
The campground is at the edge of a lake and we are the only ones camping there!
After a cold night’s sleep we decide to stay inside tonight. So we make our way to Kokstad where we stay in a quiet B&B. Harold the owner cooks us a dinner of cottage pie (aka. shepherd’s pie) and milk tart, which we’re informed is a very traditional Afrikaans dinner. Delicious!
In the morning we head to East London, which is once again a long but rewarding drive – what a view!!!
