Also if you are interested i have a spearfishing blog as well but the sea has been dirty and i was on tour so not updated yet.

The end of another trip is near

Well this has been a great and interesting trip
meeting new people, traveling with me, and the Prince of Swaziland, our first kill on tour, a cheetah caught an impala and the Hyena steeling from the cheetah.
To Snow on top of Sani Pass, meeting new friends at Inn on the Square in Cape town, and then catching up with old friends in Knysna it has been a great adventure and sadly the End is approaching fast.
Today the weather was great for the boat trip to Feather bed and the water was flat, tomorrow we go to the Cango Caves and the ostrich farm, then we go to Plettenberg bay on Thursday. Friday we all fly to Johannesberg and on to home.

Kruger Park

Well what a start to a day, the bus desided to throw a curve ball at me, a decided to over heat.
We managed to limp to Grasskop getting there just after 08:00.
After contacting the bus company they said the closest bus is two and a  half hours away then we still had to get to Kruger one and a half hours to the gate.
Now I told my guests to walk around town and I will meet them at the coffie shop at 9:00 and let them know what is happenning,
The driverr and I proceed to try find the problem but no luck. Then an empty tour van pulls in at the filling station so I ask him if he is busy or could he assit us with a transfer to Kruger Park?
He said he had a pick up at 9:00. Ten minuets later he called me and said at what rate, so I gave him the bus companies details and 5 minuets later we were packing the vehicles and on the road we were.
We get to Kruger at 10:00 got to Afsal, a rest stop about 3 hrs down the drag, and we saw nothing, sorry 1 Giraffe, We finnally got to the camp, Lukimbi, just after 3pm had lunch then at 4:30 left on a game drive .
The front van came across a White Rhino and an Elephant way out in the disttance, we saw a White Rhinothen it was time for drinks break, and the rangers say its very dry the animals have moved of the consetion, we drove one direction the others went another way, we spotted with the spot light a large spotted Genet, then the othe van calls they have a Cheetah that has just cought an Impala, so here we go bounce, hope and bump, we get there the Cheetah just got chased away by the 3 Hyena, and so we have a kill site, all you could hear was the cracking of the bones as they were gorging their way through the bones, thank goodness as there were no animals to be seen.
We got back to camp and enjoyed a great meal.
It is amazing how the day rectifies its self and end up with somthing new .
