We spent last week up at the foothills of the majestic Drakensberg mountain range, so I will take you on one of my late afternoon walks from our chalet at Champagne Sports Resort. Our feathered friends the Ibis visited every day, searching for worms and scraps of food
We embarked on the 4 km trail down to the river late afternoon, but the sun was still high and it was very hot - we arrived in a heatwave.
A lovely surprise awaited - a herd of Impala grazing in the green grass and they were not even startled by us. We saw some Blesbuck a little further along but my photo sadly was too blurry to post.
A foot bridge takes one across to the golf course on the other side of the river, but we took the riverwalk which was a whole lot cooler.
On our way back we decided to look at the quaint little chapel just down the lane from our chalet.
A surreal photo I took through the chapel window - the reflection of the trees and everything on the outside really looks weird.
Passing the putt putt course on our way back, dusk has fallen
And then it was nightfall, time to head back to our chalet!
Hoping to show you some more of the beauty of the Drakensberg next time.
