We wanted to take a little breakaway for a weekend in January. It\u2019s been a while since we have camped with my trailer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After searching through the SA 4×4 Community Forum<\/a> and chatting with a few guys there we decided to go to Ezemvelo.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezemvelo Nature reserve<\/a>\u2019s website says: \u201cEzemvelo Nature Reserve is the hidden beauty of Gauteng\u201d And this is spot on. I am so glad we have discovered this little nature reserve outside Bronkhorstspruit. We will go back there many more times in the future.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invited Stella and Amy with as well, Graham and Yolandi\u2019s children.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, the children were VERY excited about this adventure. We bought Stella and Amy some headlamps as they didn\u2019t have, you should have seen their faces. They couldn\u2019t go to sleep the first evening, just wanted to test out their headlamps. This made me think back many years ago to my first torch that I got from my mom and dad. It was a red one, made of plastic and it took two big batteries. That evening my dad just couldn\u2019t get us to go to sleep in our 13 feet Jurgens caravan.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezemvelo is an hour\u2019s drive from our house in Pretoria, 89 km\u2019s to be exact.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were pleasantly surprised when we got there. There is plenty of game. Nothing like the big 5, or any really dangerous animals, just lots of impala, zebra, bushbuck, Eland, waterbuck, kudu, that kind of animals.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a quick check-in, we were on our way to the campsites under the beautiful big trees.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were warned beforehand about the bad roads and lots of monkeys, but we didn\u2019t find any of the two a real big problem. (On the Saturday Ezemvelo even had a person working the whole day at the campsites just to keep those pesky monkeys away)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set up camp next to a group of dads that brought their sons on a father-son weekend.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had a lot of special recipes planned for the weekend. I searched for something different in the \u201cWEG Kuierkos.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to make a Parmesan and chicken pasta in our cast iron pot on Saturday evening.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On Friday evening we were going to braai some pork chops marinated in balsamic vinegar and sweet chilli, with Surika\u2019s special braaibrootjies of course.
