Beautiful pics!  Me and the missus went there one day for the mampoer feast and had lekker "kaaings and pap" for brunch.  Its a beautiful area and a must ride.
 
Very Nice.

We have some land in Rietvlei about 25km out of Groot Marico.
And Die-Oog is a must see.

Yes there has been some major changes.

Its a funny story actually as Die-Oog is devided up between 2 owners and there is a fence running almost through the center of it.
The one side is owned by a man that has converted it into a lodge and you can scuba dive there for a fee.

Where the other side is owned by an old oomie that only charges you R5 per night because there is only one toilet (LONG DROP) and you bring your own tents to camp in.

The latest news I heard from it was that someone wants to buy out the old oomie and do the same as the other side.

Here are some pics from the last time I was there.
The water is so clear you can see the bottom for about 15 meter or more in.

Promised myself we must do it in summer.
