Big Game Country

Day 4  - we travelled yesterday from Joburg to Hoedspruit which is situated approx in the middle of Kruger National Park.  The drive was good 5.5 hrs with about 1 hr of severely potholed routes - lots of farming land... Who said South Africa was dangerous???

We are staying at the Kapama Southern Lodge and the room is fantastically modern and very spacious.  We have our own pool, an outside shower... The hard life!

We had our first game drive this morning - wakeup call at 5am to start at 6am - we saw tons of wildlife: giraffes, pumbas, kudu, water buffalos, large herds of Impalas, a pride of lions that had recently killed a wildebeest - two 5 month old lion cubs.... Ahhhh.... Plenty of birds and elephant dung ( but no elephants yet... ) and the coolest of them all: The Cheetah!!!!

Our next game drive is at 4pm until sunset - we are really looking forward to it.

  1. Ok first of all, we ALL knew that Rambo follows you, not the other way around, no need to specify this publicly, secundo, why oh why eveythime you guys are in Africa, you get into trouble with the authorities, may it be Police, Customs and anything that wears a uniform? You must really look like crooks to those big dark guys, is it you? Is it Rambo? Or a combination of both? Must be the latter!
