Departing from Grahamstown we head off into the bush of the Great Fish River reserve, pitching camp on the banks of the river. A visit to the famous Fish river fort is followed by a game drive and return to the camp.
We’ll be camping right in amongst the local wildlife (including hippos and rhinos). So close, in fact, that we all have to take shifts guarding the camp at night.
This will be one camping adventure you will never forget.
