My birthday at Lake Eland

01.03.2012

Actually I don't know where we are going next. Mike says he wants to show me something and I am just going with the flow!
But later I find out that our next stop is the Lake Eland Game Reserve.

On our way

 

Mikes invites us to a trip on the Zip Lines! We are sliding through the Gorge for 4.4 kms on cables.

After that we are having a short stop at the eagle's nest view point.
