The pungent green-apple-and-eucalyptus scent of gannabos wafting on a berg-wind breeze. A gemsbok’s rapier horns piercing the dawn skyline. Tiny Karoo prinias collecting cotton wool wads of #kapokbos seeds. Losing yourself within the big-sky spaces where Naries Namakwa Retreat tumble towards #schaaprivier canyon and the coastal scrubland …

These #natureconnection moments make for REAL memories in a world where image and ego run rampant. Come and breathe in the harpuis and stink-kruid aroma; feel the pinprick pain of the Boesmanskers; let the greys and greens and ochres fuse into your irises; rise and dive with the klappertjie dawn acrobatics … And swap the #ratrace for miles and miles of #mindspace
