On the road!

On our way back from a few site insopections , a few nights in the bush..I will put in some pictures when we come to Johannesburg, at the moment it is 19h00 and we are sitting in the car drivng back trough the mountains, it is getting dark quick. Liina and Viivia are having fun in the back seat, we will be in Jburg around 22h00 tonight.
We left beginning of the week to check out Makalali game reserve, just needed to see how it looks now days and can I use it for my tours next years.The staff was very friendly, even Liina and Viivi got to come on BIG FIVE game drive! We had our own private game drive...just incase so the other guests didnt need to listen to screams and laughs of the girls. The girls liked it and behaved well, and we came very close to the lions, I will put pictures in from the whole trip tomorrow. We also saw rhinos and zebras, giraffes, bushbuck, impala, waterbuck, kudu.....Liina already starts to see the differences, a quick learner....she loved the lion and thought it is Alex from Madagascar movie:)
We have seen some snakes and other small creepy creeps, as usually in the bush. We liked it at Makalali, even if a few thinbgs needs to be upgraded, but that is the future plans for the lodge, we like it! After relaxing, being on game drives, swimming, sitting by the fire every night, we left this morning to check out Hans Merensky Golf Estate, and that was a real suprise, very nice! And tehn we went to have a look at the Shangana cultural village, also good, will use it in future, already with my next tour.So it has been a long day, 11 hours on the road and the girls are still laughing...they really must like travelling:) And my dear husband has been driving non stop...he probably dreams of getting home.
I cant see so well anymore what Im writing here in the car, , so I say good night and I will be back tomorrow again, with some pictures, bye bye
