Collette Explorations group

Well what a trip so far
I met the group in the morning and after breakfast we boarded the bus to do the city tour.
Due to some strange weather we had a group briefing on the bus as Table mountain was closed.
we finished the city tour after visiting the Millnerton Light house and then regrouped at 18:15 where we headed of to the gold restaurant for some drumming and dinner.

The next morning we managed to get Table mountain what a treat, then we shot of for the tour to cape of good hope and the penguins, and returned to the hotel.

the following day we headed for La Vierge restaurant near Hermanus, again the weather started to turn, a little windy but great food, and we over knighted at the Arrebella, where this time all went well.

We had three peeps who ventured out on the white shark cage dive, but due to large seas they only saw one about 3m in length but all got sea sick, the rest of the group enjoyed a relaxing day in Hermanus shopping and lunching. That evening we all got together to talk about the days experiences, and had some good laughs.

We then had to have a 5am breakfast and of to the airport to fly to Joberg and then what should have been a 3hr drive but ended up 4and a half hours as some guest thought they had lost things turned the bus around looked all over for them then found them chaos but any way we got to Entabeni and on the way to the lodge we saw 3 Lions with a kill and 2 Cheetah disappearing into the long grass.
The next morning we were sadly welcomed by some extreme weather loads and loads of rain no game drive, we all sat around the camp and at 4pm the rangers said ok lets try, 200m up the road stuck in mud game over.

the next morning we were going to have a 6am breakfast then leave at 7am incase we got stuck how ever the weather cleared up and one of the rangers came running to me " call the guests the Cheetah are very close " we managed to get all on the jeeps in 10 min and drove around for about 25 min and there they were two awesome cheetah on the road. We went back to lodge had breakfast and made our way to the bus sneaking in a 2hr game drive were we found the lions some giraffe wildebeest zebra and impala, finally some smiles.
On the bus and back to Joberg for a Soweto tour and on to the Da Vinci hotel befor leaving to Vic Falls Zimbabwe.
