To wake up in the morning hearing no noisy car alarms or the honking of an annoying motor vehicle is a song in my ears!
What’s better than to wake up in the bush to the chorus of a new day. The birds are tuning their loud instruments for the morning show. The bush orchestra is ready to play their daily tune of spectacular music.
“Nowhere on earth (and possibly space either) can the senses as well as the emotions wallow in a combination of stimulate such as are found in the African bush. -Peter Hathaway-
The Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner makes you feel that a holiday is just as good as an African Safari.
‘The full African moon poured down its light from the blue sky into the wide, lonely plain. The dry, sandy earth, with its coating of stunted ‘karroo’ bushes a few inches high, the low hills that skirted the plain, the milk-bushes with their long finger-like leaves, all were touched by a weird and an almost oppressive beauty as they lay in the white light.
In one spot only was the solemn monotony of the plain broken. Near the center, a small solitary ‘kopje’ rose. Alone it lay there, a heap of round iron-stones piled one upon another, as over some giant’s grave. Here and there a few tufts of grass or small succulent plants had sprung up among its stones, and on the very summit a clump of prickly-pears lifted their thorny arms, and reflected, as from mirrors, the moonlight on their broad fleshy leaves.’
