Safari breakfast on Laura’s Plains

You’re on the island of “Rupara”, one of the two islands that give the park its name. In the middle of the untouched wilderness of Nkasa Rupara National Park, surrounded by the vastness of Laura’s Plains, you’ve found a lovely spot to prepare yourself a simple safari breakfast.

It’s time to take out the flask and pour yourself that long-awaited morning coffee. You nibble on rusk, a typical South African biscuit that tastes simply heavenly in this setting.

As you enjoy your breakfast, you may see zebras, impalas, lechwe and wildebeest peacefully grazing nearby. You might even see a family of elephants moving through a small patch of woodland.

Nkasa Rupara is regularly flooded and could therefore never be permanently settled by people. This wilderness where you’re having breakfast is truly one of the last paradises.
