Taking an African Safari



Going on a African safari 1 hour flight from Joburg in a nine seater plane a bit bumpy. When we landed we were greeted by our ranger that would take us on our 3 days safari - KG was his name, a champion of a man. He took us to Selati lodge where we would stay for 3 days.







The lodge has a bygone theme mostly railway memorabilia with beautifully appointed lodges.
We were met at Selati by its manager and a welcoming drink then he explained all what was to happen during our stay and made us aware of the dangers of walking out side on your own at night.








"Its a do not" for there are all the wild animals just outside your door and that we are only food to the carnivores and the elephant now kills more people than any other animal in Africa. We took his words seriously.






On our first safari outing we saw a herd of elephants - excellent, we got very close within 5 meters of the majestic beasts.
