Grietjie Private Reserve

Lately I spend most weekends at Grietjie Private Reserve. It is located about 20Km from Phalaborwa and is home to the Big 5.
It is a residential reserve and forms part of the Balule Reserve on the Banks of the Olifants River. There are a few lodges there and you can only enter if you have a booking, appointment or if you own or are visiting a property owner.
You are recommended not to walk around but you can at your own risk. We often walk down at the river and enjoy a coffee on the banks of the river at sunrise. We hear the lions, hyenas and jackal almost evry night. Game viewing is also done from the stoep, as there are two water holes close to the house and we watch animals come and go all day. We do night drives when ever we feel like it, but most times we just enjoy the wildlife around the house.
I will post a few photos soon. Watch this space...
