Hardus & Linda Visagie - Karoo wedding

Image
Shortly after the arrival of the new year I set off on a journey into the Karoo, Tankwa Karoo to be specific. The place is hot, to match the warm hospitality of the people that inhabit the Tankwa Karoo. This is not a three or four hour journey as the mileage count may suggest, it's a day's journey. Spectacular scenery to absorb, while it is probably better to travel slowly anyway. The hospitality from the people at Gannaga Lodge is just amazing, and they just know you need a few litres of chilled water when you arrive. There is plenty of time for other stuff later.  Johan and his son Izak together with their staff run an efficient setup at the lodge, from rooms to bar to catering. And if you forget for a moment where you are and feel the urge to be pressed for time because the hands of the clock are approaching a certain hour, they will gently remind you that you are in the middle of nowhere and there is no rush to go anywhere right then. It will be when it is ready!
