Bundle up together under blankets as you’re pulled through the snow behind a team of horses, and you’ll quickly feel like you’ve been transported to another time. With our young kids, we found that taking a short sleigh ride followed by dinner at Cena, was a perfect combination.

Welcome to Barefoot Coaching’s A-Z series. We aim to simplify what might otherwise be complex psychological theories and models and talk about them in a way that anybody can understand. We believe that everybody benefits from learning about and practising coaching skills - and it’s catching! Coaching spreads into other areas of our life and work and the positive effects are felt far beyond just ourselves. Each issue we will be focusing on a different element of coaching. Last month we explored Happiness, this month we will focus on Intuition.
‘I’ IS FOR INTUITION
“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” Rumi
If you have ever followed a “hunch”, gone with your gut, listened to your inner voice, or felt “I just know”, then you have accessed your intuition. We don’t have to reject logic or intellect to embrace intuition -good decisions are often the result of instinct and intellect working together. Here are 3 ways to improve your intuition:
● Wild writing. Every day for a week, sit quietly and write for 5 minutes without thinking. Just let the words appear on the page. Then notice what you learn from your untamed thoughts.
● Walking without purpose. Go for a walk (without your phone or others distractions). Take notice if you find your attention being drawn to any particular sights or sounds. Identify what feelings, thoughts or meaning they have for you.
● When faced with a decision, ask yourself “What does my head, heart and gut say?”

8 . This campsite at Tsendze is the closest one where you’ll get to wild camping in the Kruger. But it’s not as wild as Mabuasehube: The campsite is still fenced so you won’t wake up to a lion wandering around your tent.
The 34 stands are large and set far apart, with big tall trees in-between. Generators are not allowed and the campsite is not connected to the power network. Solar panels keep the lights on. The campsite doesn’t have a swimming pool and there’s no busy reception office or restaurant with milkshakes—for that, you’ll have to drive 7 km to Mopani. But Tsendze is the kind of place where you open and close the entrance gate to the campsite yourself.
Despite how wild it is, you still get first-class service. Rodgers Hobyane and Elina Mona have been in charge of the camp since the campsite opened in 2007. They walk through the campsite every evening to make sure everything is running smoothly. They also know where the resident African birds nest, and point them out to guests. They are highly thought of by both the guests and their boss.
“We have guests year-round and some of them stay for 30 nights. We’ve had guests stay for 50 nights!” says Elina.
INSIDER TIP: Unlike other campsites in the Kruger, you can book a specific stand at Tsendze. If you want shade, ask for stand number 6. Big groups can ask for number 27 or 28. If you’re after privacy, numbers 3, 4 and 26 are good. Rates from R410 per night for two people, plus R104 per extra person; max six people per stand.
1. What is a feature of the camp at Tsendze?| A．It is the wildest campsite. | B．It is powered by solar energy. |
| C．It is a nice spot to observe lions. | D．It is connected to free Internet. |
| A．A bird observer. | B．A boss of the camp. |
| C．A camp caretaker. | D．A guest of the camp. |
| A．On stand number 4. | B．On stand number 6. |
| C．On stand number 26. | D．On stand number 27. |
