Where you sleep
San Bushman cave
You meet your guide and everyone turns off their phone. After going over the route you set off on foot. On the way your guide teaches basic tracking and points out footprints and dung. Expect zebra, wildebeest, Nile crocodiles and antelope such as kudu and impala.
Late in the afternoon you reach the San Bushman cave. The San are the original people of Southern Africa; they slept in this cave and left paintings on its walls. Watch the sunset from the rocks nearby, then spend the evening telling stories around the fire.
