Big gertie at Gwahumbe

Post by Musselcracker »

The GF and I went to this little game reserve halfway between PMB and Kingsborough on the weekend! What an amazing place, they advertise a 4x4 track, and it is basically a lovely afternoon drive around a great little game reserve! Granted nothing too challenging but great scenery and lovely braai picnic area down by a little waterfall.

FYI for all the wifes and gf's there is a hotel and spa there! So while the boys are playing the girls can be pampoured!

Looks like a lekker rustige family drive outing. Great to get out, no matter, whatever the reason. :thumbup: ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
