After having breakfast we will journey to Buffelsdrift Private Game Lodge where you will spend the rest of the day, you will have the amazing opportunity to brush and feed the Elephants on the reserve. The 3 African Elephants are orphans from the Kruger National Park. Their parents were poached. They would not survive on their own and were kept alive and we are fortunate that they ended up here at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge as they are truly gentle giants and have great personalities. Elephants are very affectionate and caring animals. You will immediately experience this when visiting ours. You are welcome to ask our elephant guides as many questions as you like. We will take our painting equipment to experience painting on location.

May 6
BUFFELSDRIFT
PAINTING SESSION IN THE AFTERNOON.
We will venture out on a short safari in the morning to see the many meerkats in the area. We will take sketchbooks in case there is a possibility to sketch them from life!
On sunny mornings our meerkats wake up on time, but conditions such as rain and cold overcast mornings can delay the meerkats to emerge from their burrows for the morning. Meerkats prefer clear sunny mornings. Thus, in the event of the above-mentioned weather conditions, there is a possibility that we will not see the meerkats or that the meerkat safari can be cancelled and we will go on a normal safari instead. We will visit the Cango Caves 29km from Oudtshoorn, at the head of the picturesque Cango Valley, which lies the spectacular underground wonder of the Klein Karoo. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well known Swartberg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations. If you are pregnant or suffer from claustrophobia, high blood pressure, asthma or any muscular ailments, the cave excursion is NOT suitable for you. Please let us know there will be plenty for you to do instead.
