    Luggage! And onto safari

    September 7, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Last night's hotel was cheap, cheerful and ok. 5 large wines and a lager for £8. It was a unique place, much better than your standard Western white tourist hotel, I say that as at breakfast there was only one other white person, not a problem and ok.

    Went to airport, as they did not phone me and our luggage was there. That was a great relief, I had nightmares of having to spend a day in a shopping mall while mam got all she needed! Lol.

    Amakhala safari Lodge is something special, but I think all african lodges are similar. It's all inclusive, 6 game drives and a well stocked room bar.

    First safari this afternoon, most people are dressed for something entirely different! A party or beach, don't think they want to see wild animals. Safari drive was best mist successful we have ever had to see giraffe, cheetahs, gnu, wart hog, lion, zebra and obi wan kenobi (Diane doing a good impression) it was very cold.

    First impressions are that this is a top experience, all inclusive, free bar, safaris with picnics, very friendly helpful staff etc etc
