A Picture Paints a Thousand Words

Uniondale in the Paul Roux district of the Eastern Free State is fairly new Game Farm and Lodge and we paid a visit taking our bicycles, walking shoes, horseriding gear and camera. Other than a few descriptions, I'll let the photos do the talking

Nyala browse between the chalets

Malachite sunbird taking advantange of the flowering aloes

Beautiful light as the sun ducks behind the mountain

Early morning horse ride

Nothing like heading off into the bush armed only with a camera, on the hunt for wildflowers

Old settlements scattered around the farm

Can you spot the grasshopper?

Finding bugs when viewing photos after downloading onto the computer is such a delight!

Posing Peacock knows how beautiful he is

Our morning cycle around the farm
