Woke up to a sunny day after last nights thunderstorm. Fortunately all tents were dry inside, so after brekfast we went to the reception to plan todays activities. Some took the 6 hour trail to the top of one of the mountains, but most of us choose the 2 hour trail in the reserve round the camp. It proved to be a good choice. Quite varied terrain with woods, grassland and a few streams to cross. Saw different antelopes, zebra, warthog, lots of birds, and towars the end a crocodile near the "hippo pond" The hippos however where hiding.
After lunch and a dip in the camp swimmingpool it was time for some laundry before 5 of us took 2 hours of horseriding in the reserve. A nice ride with som wildlife to see and excellent wievs over the Eluzwini valley towards the queens palace, Towards the end of the ride we had the opportunity to canter over a large field full of palins game which really was the highlight of the day.
After a full day of activities I made a raher early evening after another camp dinner.
