Hiking trails and waterfalls
We started the week with a conservation theory, and cultural history and decided that a trip away was essential to learn new surroundings and other conservation methods being used in other areas.
The venue was Lekgalmeetse, a small botanical reserve nearby.
We did a serious hike through high altitude mountain grasslands, and covered a lot of new vegetation types and even some new bird species.
We continued the hike through amazing forests and passed wonderful waterfalls, that some brave and half frozen students swam in and did some serious slippery slides down the falls.
We covered a large amount of ground and decide to head back to our chalets to get warm and to have hot showers.
The following morning we again went on some really amazing trails along side a pristine stream and pulled out a number of alien plants.
To our surprise we got a fantastic sighting of a relaxed Mozambique spitting cobra, that found refuge between Sean’s (Garonga senior trainer) legs. The snake moved away totally relaxed into a termite hole. All of us had a super leaning experience in the forests, and were keeping our eyes out for hobbits! Lekgalmeetse was a great little mid-term getaway!
