Go on a safari

Just come back from a fortnight in South Africa during which we spent a few days in Kruger. Saw four of the Big Five (Elephant, lion, leopard and rhino – buffalo strangely absent) and also giraffe, zebra, warthogs, hyena, lots of species of antelope, babboons, lots of smaller animals and the very rare wild dog – only 400 in the whole park and we saw eight of them! Also went on a sunset safari where we had spotlights and had to find animals by the reflection of their eyes – very exciting. Highlight has to be the four lions who padded backwards and forwards alongside our vehicle – fantastic.

Do it, it’s definitely worth it!

We’re going – a week today!!!

I’ve just realised that this is something that I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do … yet I hadn’t put it on my list. D’oh!

And the good news is …. WE’RE GOING ON SAFARI!!!!!!!

We’ve just booked the most AMAZING African safari adventure for our honeymoon. We start with four days at the Kruger National Park where we’ll hopefully be able to spot the Big Five. Then we travel to Zambia and spend a day canoeing down the Zambezi (Zambezi Zambezi Zam!!), camping out on an island and then riding and interacting with elephants. Then to finish we’re going to spend five dats in Cape Town.

Wow.

I can’t wait!
