I couldn’t really get back to sleep at all, but I laid there for a few more hours until it was time to get up. We take fast showers and didn’t have a bunch of stuff to get ready so it was pretty fast. We headed outside to wait for everyone and Jacquie had some coffee so that was nice. Eventually we walked over to … Continue reading Sept 3- Joberg to Blyde Canyon

They all looked a bit like a golden retriever with something else mixed in. All were very sweet and were even polite when they begged for food- from a respectable 3 … Continue reading Day 11- Masai Mara
