Coody at Willemsrus, Dinokeng — September 2024

Willemsrus, Dinokeng September 2024 Coody Familia

Late winter at Willemsrus, Dinokeng — bare trees, cold nights, dry red dirt, and the Familia holding its own against all of it. Warm inside, string lights strung up outside, and a fire going every evening.

Winter Camp, Set Up for the Night

Bare acacias, hard-packed earth, and the Familia's awning stretched out over the braai area — a proper winter base camp.

Making It Home

Kids' beds, a cooler box, a toddler inflatable bed — everything a family needs for a few nights in the bush, all inside the one room.

Evenings and Fire

As the sun dropped behind the bare trees, the temperature followed it down fast — right on cue for the string lights and the first fire of the night.

A Bit of Bush Right Outside

Winter-dry bushveld, and a small herd of wildebeest grazing just beyond the fence line.

Coody, Even in Winter

Cold nights, heavy dew — the branding still catching the light through it all.
