Leshiba Wilderness trip

Week 3 of 2009’s first expedition and ‘Team Simba’ gets a trip to Leshiba Wilderness (Mountain Phase). Hello hot showers, no mozzies and late morning starts, 7 am!! We were greeted by a herd of people-friendly horses who were interested in everything we did, even the GVI Risk Assessment. Days spent toiling cutting down sickle-bush were rewarded with an afternoon swim in a crystal clear rock pool complete with a natural water slide. Evenings were spent relaxing, having a braai, playing cards and ultimate frisbee and having a few drinks. On the last morning we saw a rather unique event, where a dung beetle had collected a cricket and began to bury it, a rare event. Our visit was completed by a breathtaking hike along the Vulture Cliffs, where we spotted black eagles, rock dassies and a wildebeest.
