South Africa 2018  ​
We had three days /2 nights here. Amazing -Really something you have to do once in your lifetime.
We stayed at the Four star rated Hlosi Game Lodge in the Amakala Game reserve.
They treated us like kings. Food was top notch. Staff were so friendly.The highlight was the game drives. 
​We seen everything bar the lions. This was a bit disappointment but how can we complain when you think what we seen.    

We had day and night game drives.Our driver was very experienced and good at tracking down the wild life.
We were thrilled at our first go at Safari.Hopefully not our last. Hope my images give you a feel for a visit your self.

Before our drive we were given a Field Guide.A kind of check list of what you can see.Sad to see we missed the Lion and the Leopard but we did see everything else.
