Ahhhh, yes I suspected the morning cruise might be better. We also got everything we needed at Spar and ShopRite 🙂

What a gem! We did the sunrise cruise which I highly recommend. Our boat was full but not crowded, so one didn’t need to jostle for space.

One activity I particularly enjoyed was the horseback safari which included a leisurely stroll on the beach. The horses got hungry while we were on the beach so that cut our beach front ride but it was still enjoyable.

I love that the community makes it a point not to “commercialise” the town. There are no big name franchises for restaurants/take-aways, it all feels quaint. And like most small town service, food took forever to arrive – but the food was generally good. For self caters, there is a well stocked Spar and Shoprite.

It was REALLY hot and humid. We had visitors from the UK with us and they almost melted!

Thanks for the tips! I wish we’d had more time…

If you have more time next time, the western shores are a must. Just as good if not better than eastern. We saw rhino and elephant on western side. Also the best picnic spots and bird hides. On the eastern side, the old fire tower is also a must. I forget its name. It’s on one of those loops to the right. We saw whales from there on one side, and rhinos in the grassland on the other side.
