After a hearty breakfast we saddle up and head out through the forests to the secluded dam where we swim and bask in the sun with the horses. Then, after a picnic lunch we set off again, deep into the mountains to set up camp out on a breathtaking plateau for the night. As dusks approached we will either walk or ride to Hogsbacks “secret waterfall” for sunset and then head back to camp for a traditional braai dinner whilst chilling under the stars without and electric light in sight.
For sunrise a short walk up the hill to enjoy a spectacular 360’ view of the mountains, valleys and escarpments in the early morning light, then back to camp for breakfast and coffee from the campfire before a gentle ride back to Terra Khaya through the forests, bringing this spectacular adventure to a comfortable end.
