As with every trip to the Dullstroom area, it all starts with the packing, a bit of a mission but it all gets done and you hit the road from Johannesburg. The roads were traffic-free and really they are in excellent condition, only had to dodge one pothole just outside Belfast.
The sand road to the farm was a bit hectic but once you get there you tend to suddenly remember to breathe, and what a good feeling it is. The farm is in stunning condition after good rains, the grasses are green, flowers are flowering everywhere, insects are hatching bringing the birds to life in all their splendour.
