Beautiful trails withing trees and twigs some that has created shield from the sun. I also had wonderful runs , walk and little hike to the top. The top gives a breath taking view of the lake.
We were treated like Queens and kings, the scenery was out of the world. I have been to many safari places but Blue Zebra remains memorable . I will go again everytime I have a chance.e
