    Table Mountain, Yellow Fever shots and w

    10. februar 2025, Sør-Afrika ⋅ 🌬 70 °F

    Such a full day! First off, passion fruit for breakfast. Then we were able to ride a cable car to the top of Table Mountain-early bird gets the worm since high winds could close it down. Incredible views and waterfall clouds!! Despite my exhausted research, found out we needed Yellow fever vaccinations so our guide found us a travel clinic and we were inoculated. Then on to 2 wine tastings in the beautiful wine country. The second one was so beautiful plus the wine was great!Les mer

    Thornybush Game Reserve

    12. februar 2025, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    This is the real start of our safari. Flew to Hoedspruit and drove to the reserve. After checking in, went on our first safari and saw rhino, elephants, impala and wildebeest. Had an amazing sunset drink and snack break in the bush where David took a bush wee. Then back for a delicious dinner and then retired to our luxurious rooms for a quick sleep. Wake up call for AM game drive is 5 AM.Les mer

    Thornybush Game Reserve

    13. februar 2025, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F

    Another amazing day at Thornybush. AM Game drive started at 5:30 AM. Started by seeing a lion and his 2 lionesses napping. The we came across a pack of wild dogs which had cornered a baby impala in a pond. They finally were able to attack it and bring it to shore but a group of hyenas took the impala from them and ate it in about 10 minutes. A bit gruesome but it showed life in the bush. Our guide and tracker were amazing getting us as close as possible. Our guide was so excited seeing this. Absolutely incredible. My video is too lengthy but I included some pics. Then afternoon drive, we saw water buffaloes, giraffe and sat among a herd of elephants grazingLes mer

    Thornybush Game Reserve-day 3

    14. februar 2025, Sør-Afrika ⋅ 🌧 73 °F

    2 more game drives today. In the morning we found the leopard so we have seen the Big 5. These animals are so used to people watching them that they don't run off or attack. We are amazed at how close we can get to them. Then it started to rain and we tried to find the 2 lion cubs spotted in the area but we were getting too wet. The afternoon drive was great. Partly sunny and very comfortable temp. We saw zebra, wildebeest, wild dogs, female lions and watch this male lion walk down the road to his mound where he hangs out. Our sunset drink and snack stop had an elephant grazing behind us. This game Reserve was amazing and we leave tomorrow.Les mer

    Johannesburg, South Africa

    15. februar 2025, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    We said good bye to Thornybush Game Reserve and flew to Johannesburg on our way to Victoria Falls. Due to the unsafe conditions in this city, we were in a very nice hotel by the airport which was connected to a casino and lots of restaurants. Such a change from the peaceful and beautiful ThornybushLes mer

    Victoria Falls Hotel, Zimbabwe

    16. februar 2025, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    Flew from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls. Staying at an old colonial but very luxurious hotel near the falls-you can see the mist and hear the Falls. Hiked around the falls which is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world. The largest not tallest falls in the world. You get pretty wet due to the mist coming off the falls. We had a delicious buffet dinner at the hotel with African music and dancing.Les mer

    Chobe National Park, Botswana

    17. februar 2025, Botswana ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

    Traveled from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park in Botswana (more stamps for my passport) had a game drive in the AM and saw hippos, baboons, impala (of course) and lots of elephants. Then after that we boarded a boat and saw the park by water going down the Chobe river. Had a nice lunch and relaxing ride. Dinner was fancy in a very posh part of the hotelLes mer

    Busy day in Victoria Falls

    18. februar 2025, Zimbabwe ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

    Started with a personal interaction experience with elephants. Never touched or feed one before. Then made a humbling visit to one of the local schools. It was very clean and the children were so well behaved and happy. The disabled children room was difficult. Had sunset cruise on the Zambezi river. Leaving for Nairobi tomorrowLes mer

    Nairobi, Kenya

    20. februar 2025, Kenya ⋅ 🌙 70 °F

    Busy day touring around Nairobi. First, went to a giraffe center and fed giraffes-they are so sweet and docile. Then on to the elephant orphanage and watched them feed the youngsters. Went to a Bead and Leather shop where they empower women and disabled people to make some beautiful beads. Tasty lunch at a beautiful garden. Dinner was at the home of one of the safari tour groups owners. Very nice-food was delicious-grilled steak/chicken and a variety of sides.Les mer

    Lake Elmenteita, Kenya

    21. februar 2025, Kenya ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

    Drove from Nairobi to Lake Elmentetia which took about 3 hours. Lots of truck traffic and difficult passing makes a longer trip. Our lodging is a very large and luxurious "tent". Went on an evening game drive and then had sundowner drinks overlooking the lake.Les mer

    Lake Elmenteita

    22. februar 2025, Kenya ⋅ 🌬 86 °F

    Did a game safari in the AM-a little different from Thornybush since we had to stay on the road and the animals were a little farther away. We saw 2 giraffes start the mating dance but she wasn't very receptive. Went to the Mission in Action Orphanage in Nakuru which was he a heartwarming. The woman who ran the organization was amazing and all the children were so articulate and happy.Les mer

    Masai Mara Game Reserve

    23. februar 2025, Kenya ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F

    Drove from Lake Elmenteita to Masai Mara Game Reserve-7 hours in the jeep driving crazy pot-holed roads and driving through small villages. Staying in a quaint lodge overlooking the savannah. Went to a real Masai village and got to see how they lived. Made me appreciate my hot showerLes mer

    Busy day-up at 4AM to go for a sunrise balloon ride followed by a champagne (Prosecco) breakfast in the open. Then all day game drive where we saw everything-cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, lions eating Topi ( which is a type of gazelle) and hyenas eating a hippo. Picnic lunch under a tree. Pretty special!Les mer

    Masai Mara National Park

    25. februar 2025, Kenya ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    Last day at Masai Mara. Had an early game drive followed by breakfast by the river with the hippos and crocs. Relaxed in the afternoon by the pool and then had our evening game drive-basically saw and enjoyed a herd of elephants and got close to the controlled burn fires. Drove along the border of Kenya and Tanzania with a group photo of us on the Tanzania sideLes mer

    Serengeti National Park

    26. februar 2025, Tanzania ⋅ 🌙 73 °F

    Time to move-flew from Masai Mara to the Tanzania border and then had to be bussed to the customs. Then flew to the Serengeti. Fun little flights from small airstrip. Arrived at our lodge and went on a game drive, of course. Lots of Zebras starting their migration. The big difference is the fact that we now have to deal with TseTse flies! We had our DEET spray which helped but they are a nuisanceLes mer
