For you, there’s nothing better than taking your dog for an early-morning walk on the beach before spreading your towel to lay down for a lazy day of sunbathing. At sunset you prefer spending time with your family around the braai fire and feasting on braaied snoek with some extra sweet potato on the side, while listening to the waves crashing in the distance.

For most people, getting up extra early to seek out game sounds like a nightmare ─ but not for you. With your coffee thermos in one hand and your game or birdwatching booklet in the other, you’re ready for the day! Tick those game or bird species off one by one, before you head back to your bush camp or chalet to get that potjie going on the fire. Sit back and relax in your favourite camping chair, while listening to the king of the Bushveld’s roar in the background.
