The Big Hole

We spent the day in the campsite re-packing the Landy and enjoying various animals visits to the waterhole. Most memorable to me were the giraffes, they're so graceful and there was an extremely cute baby giraffe in tow. We also saw some baby warthogs running around with their tails in the air like aerials for remote control. The following morning we went on a game drive around the park and came across zebra, baboons, buffalo and a single black backed jackal before heading further into diamond country to see The Big Hole in Kimberley, which is exactly what it says on the tin. It is the largest hand-cut mine in the world and stopped being mined in 1914. We're spending the night at an uninspiring and surprisingly expensive campground between the highway and railway tracks just outside Bloemfontein. i dont recommend it.
