Safari feeling<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At the Rest Camp in Addo National Park we get that “safari feeling” for the first time, even if it’s not quite the big feeling yet. Many South Africans have adventurous-looking vehicles that exude a safari atmosphere. It’s not like in Europe. In Europe, the motorhomes drive onto the narrow camping plot and the first thing you see is the satellite TV dish being raised. Hey guys, do you actually want to camp and be closer to nature or do you want it to be like home? Not so in southern Africa.<\/p>\n

The “South African” lives mainly outside. Go in shorts and barefoot, even if we would already get the “cow nail” on our feet and hands. He perseveres outdoors, even when it is cold or very windy. We always cook and eat outside. One of the first things the “South African” does: he puts wood on the braai (barbecue area) that is available at most camps and then fires and fires until late into the night. The wood is burned slowly to create a beautiful and long-lasting ember – and the meat is then cooked until tender. So there’s no need to turn up the TV dish and the like. Oh yes, a dazzlingly bright outdoor lamp is used instead of the TV dish. Sometimes it blinds us and the smoke and the taste of burnt fat permeates our camper …<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
