Rest day - Duane's farm

Hanging with Duane, Nika and the animals

Today was a pretty amazing day!  Imagine having your own guide to drive you through a private game reserve.  Yep, that's what happened (twice today) and I feel like the luckiest person around.

We went out on both a morning and evening game  drive this morning and saw all kinds of animals again.  It was so much fun.  We drove to a couple of the camps where they host groups for education and training.  I could totally stay there a week!  I watched a video today about the operations here.  Duane works for a Canadian mining company that mines for gold, literally, and at the same time, they want to give back to the country by having a nature conservancy which Duane is in charge of running.  Jobs are created for many of the locals.  So, two seemingly opposites, are able to coexist and it's a winning situation for everyone.  

The experiences were beyond my wildest imagination!!! What a treat to be able to spend a day here with two incredibly kind and fun people and what a great start back to my biking adventure! 

Thanks so much guys!!!

Duane and Nika
