Waking in the morning to a deep beautifully enveloping silence and you KNOW …its MISTY. Standing on your deck, cup of coffee in hand, tucked up against the slight chill of an awesome Autumn morning in the Highlands. Swirling around you thick mist filled with glowing light and tasting like champagne on your lips, and just for this brief moment in time…..the world has gone away.

After rain there is an explosion of wild flowers here at the Amohela ho Spitskop Conservancy and our grasslands become a patchwork of colours as pockets of blue and yellow and white and pink suddenly appear.
This becomes a wonderland as a myriad insects, bees, butterflies and birds pollinate and feast on Nature's abundant table.

22.5 Million. That's the number of Sunflowers smiling at Spitskop today.!!

When the rains finally came in early 2018, farmers needed a short season fast growing crop, SUNFLOWERS, millions of plants, this may not EVER happen quite like this again - you will never forget it !

We would love to share this experience with you, this one moment in time when this kind of spectacle of golden beauty surrounds us.

This miracle of colour lasts for just a few short weeks - so don’t delay, book soon.

They drift from the sky like giant snowflakes........

Finally we here in the Eastern Highlands have had some reasonable rain, and the Spitskop Valley has turned green overnight, in that amazing regeneration that happens in Africa.
