As we were off to Kruger the following day we decided to stay over at Marloth Park for the night which was about 30mins from Crocodile Bridge Gate entrance. Chris made a provisional booking before on the internet, yet to our Surprise it was already booked out! So after searching for the...

A little bit of luxury :)

After 3 night of backpacking accomodation we decided that we would treat ourselves to a comfy bed for a great night sleep which luckily was achieved. Chris also liked it as it had we had a pub in our garden! So that's where we spent the majority of our night! During the day we went for a lovely...

The Morning After...

Today was a little slow-starting as we were both a little hung over! But once we'd finally got up we went to Cape Vidal which is a little park just outside Saint Lucia where we saw a rhino properly and not just it's bum. We then found a lovely secluded beach again and went for a long walk,...

My Birthday!

I had a lovely day today, of course being pampered by my lovely boyfriend! We moved to a different B&B, Parkers which is also lovely as neither could accommodate us for the full 4 days. Had a strange pizza for lunch with bacon,Banana and garlic??? However, was still a taste sensation!...

9 amazing hours of Safari!

At 4:45am we woke up and went on an amazing safari. Our tiny little car was amazing and managed to take us pretty much everywhere the jeeps and 4x4s went. We had a very lucky day managing to see the extremely rare sighting of a cheetah, 2 Bushpigs and so many more animals....

Bye Bye Margate and Hello St. Lucia!

Today we played a little role reversal... I cooked breakfast for Chris this morning!!! The first time I'd ever cooked scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms and he loved every mouthful! Then we drove for four hours north to a more rural part of South-Africa, Saint Lucia where we are staying in a...

Best Beach- so far

Today we went to the prettiest beach we've been to so far in Africa. We went to a little park, drove around and found a secluded path to a beach! It was practically deserted apart from a couple of passers by, but the mile long beach was practically ours! Unlike the other beaches we went to, this...

Yummy Fishies!

Today we ate Chris' catches from the day before for breakfast and they tasted just like Seabass and were delicious! So we decided to give fishing another go today to see if our luck would continue- it didn't :( However, we spoke to some people at the fishing bait shop and they were amazed...

WE CAUGHT 3 FISH!!!

Today we finally worked out how to catch fish in South-Africa. Although we were fishing from 10am in the morning, we managed to catch 3 fish in the space of 1 hour at around 3pm. We just need to wait until the high tide and all the fish come towards the beach! We were so pleased with...
