Inverdoorn , Ceres

Last week we were invited to visit this exciting Safari Lodge near Ceres in the Klein Karoo-Inverdoorn.

A pretty drive and good roads except for the last section where you experience about 10km. of gravel/dusty road. Don't expect to come home with a clean car.

We were welcomed with a warm morning coffee/tea or cold drink with delicious home-baked cookies.


It is quite a large farm +_ 5000 hectare, and although one would expect the area to be completely dry and barren, to our surprise we found quite a lot of vegetation around comfortable dams and waterholes, as well as a beautiful small and large 'lake'.

Hippos,Rhino, Buffalo and plenty of Zebra, Giraffe,Kudu and Eland) in nice size herds made this encounter more pleasing than the other 'one-day' Game safaris that I have visited in this region.
The lion were in an extended open area, as were the Cheetah that were part of a breeding programme that intends letting the new cubs out into the 'wild'.

The Lodge and rooms were very well appointed, as suited their 4 star rating, and the meal we enjoyed was very satisfactory.

It was overall a very enjoyable days outing and I can highly recommend a visit.

Mining Indaba

The Mining Indaba is one of the world's premier mining indabas where
senior mining executives, bankers, politicians get together for networking and transacting.

Expert speakers share their visions and knowledge with lessor
mortals and sponsors and exhibitors display their various products
in the large exhibition hall.

It is an annual event that takes place at the CTICC and adjacent hotel.

The event is sold out months in advance and it is also a very good
opportunity to see the fairest Cape and take advantage of all the sights
and sounds that the city has to offer.
