This has been incredible! We were picked up from the airport by a tour guide who drove us 2 1/2 hours to the lodge. The last 45 minutes of so were on dirt roads. We really felt like we were entering the bush. First we passed thrugh many villages. Being a Saturday, people weren't working and the roads were very crowded everywhere with people walking. The tour guide told us all about the townships and local people and how they live, their history in the area etc.... It was very interesting.
Once we entered Sabi Sands Researve, and had about 30 minutes more to get to our lodge she told us we might see animals. Immediately Sarah spotted a girafe with her baby. We couldn't believe it! Now we definitely felt like we had arrived on safari.
When we got to the lodge the staff was out front to greet us. Very very friendly. It felt like arriving at the best summer camp ever! They showed us to our rooms- which are individual thatched roof chalets with patios, bathrooms and mosquito netting all around the beds, topped with flowers on the pillows of course. Our room, in addition to a big tub inside, has a tiled courtyard with an outdoor shower. Very cool!
It was immediately time for tea and our first safari ride.
