Fun with Lion Cubs!
... before going into the Lion enclosures. Yes, it was like a drive-through zoo, but still a great experience and the lions were magnificent. In one of the areas, a lioness got up on her hind legs and peeked into the vehicle a couple of times. Poor Donna was face to face (inches away) with the lioness. Thankfully, the vehicle seating area was surround by a fence. I guess, we swapped places for a bit and ...
Township living

Sleepless in South Africa
... saw impala, red hartebeest, wildebeest, springbok, ostrich and a baby rhino with its mum.
On our return our guide and driver had kindly cooked tea for us which was a stirfry what I thought was chicken but turned out to be guinea fowl - very like chicken. We sat around the campfire until quite late, while Johan filled us in on what is happening tomorrow. We are to be up at 5.00am, so still dark and have breakfast and break camp ready for ...
