Safari breakfast on Laura’s Plains

You are 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 wide-open landscapes of Laura’s Plains, you’ve found a lovely spot to prepare a simple safari breakfast.

It’s time to take out the thermos flask and pour yourself the long-awaited morning coffee. You nibble on rusks, 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 grazing peacefully nearby. You might even spot a family of elephants moving through a small patch of woodland.

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