Rietvlei nature reserve situated 40 km's from
Johannesburg and 20 Km's from Pretoria, is a hidden gem of a venue so very
close to two of SA's major cities. The nature reserve is ideal for MX5's as
most of the roads meandering through the reserve are tarred and well
maintained.
We camped out for our Braai on the North end of the
reserve, close to the picturesque dam with it's Sailing and fishing facilities well
catered for. No power boats so really a tranquil and peaceful facility. The
scorching heat with temperatures in excess of 30 degrees, had us huddling under
the Gazebo's seeking the comfort of shade. Really very hot and without the
light breeze would have been unbearable.
After lunch some took a ride through the reserve, spotting numerous buck, zebra and rhino.
We were fortunate enough to see two rhino facing each other off! Really exciting stuff, but also scary if you compare the size of a MX5 to that of rhino! Luckily they gradually moved off not bothering with us too much.
Thanks go out to Herman,Eben,Annetjie and Carin for
organizing the foodstuffs, braai and the much needed Gazebo's. Really well done
guys, a lot of hard work went into this, so really very well done.
