A view from a deck

After crossing the border into SA again, we were bundled into coaches, bikes on the back of trucks, and transported to the Livhubu River bridge, north of which the Makuleke Concession is situated - and in this section we were allowed to complete our grand tour - guided by one of the Pafuri ranger/guides who lead the cycling pack in his open vehicle.

 

Some in the team still suffered a couple of punctures, others hopped on for a game drive, and apart from two elephants who quickly disappeared from sight, our final lap of honour continued to be fairly uneventful from an animal sighting point of view.

 

This view, however, was an altogether bearable one - and was from the deck of the Pafuri Camp, which was to be home for the night.
