Made it to the City Lodge OR Tambo Hotel (right across the street from the airport) after about 24 hours total travel time. Hardest part was trying to stay awake on the flight from Amsterdam so that I'd be able to sleep tonight. And the fact that I had no eyedrops with me and my eyes feel like they were full of sandpaper! Nothing like the air quality on a plane. lol
I'm just going to stay up long enough to shower (Lord, I am stanky!!) and repack my suitcases so I can take a smaller bag on our safari. By the time I finish breakfast in the morning Donna should have arrived, and we'll be picked up for our safari at the Tremisana Lodge in the Balule Reserve at Kruger Park.
The description of our Day One:
We collect our guests and travel via the Highveld farmlands to the picturesque subtropical Lowveld and onwards to Tremisana Game Lodge in the Balule Section of the Kruger Park. During a short break, you may rest in your room, have a refreshing dip in our sparkling pool, unwind at the bar or relax in the beautiful gardens. At around 17h00 you board the open Landcruiser for a Sunset Drive. Your qualified guide will facilitate your first exciting opportunity to experience the varied African fauna and flora. Watch the magnificent African sunset, and, after darkness falls, use spotlights to locate nocturnal animals. Dinner in the Boma will be a traditional South African meal. Overnight in comfortable, air-conditioned en suite thatch-roofed chalets.
I've borrowed a nice camera from a friend (thanks Laura!!!), and spent a lot of hours on my flight reading up on how to get the most out of it.
Not sure how internet will be while we're at Kruger, but am hoping to get some good pics!
African Adventure - Part 1 - underway!
