Day 7... What the f*** time do you call this???

The morning wake up call came through loud and clear... 5:19 am... 5:19!?! I actually knew what the schedule was like, but it still doesn't soften the blow of a 5:19 am knock on the door. The idea is you are all up for a coffee at about 6 and then go out on the morning drive at about...

Day 6... Kruger...Day 6... Kruger...

Woke up this morning knowing that it was the day to head up to the game reserve. The place is called Timbavati and is not actually within the Kruger National Park, it is a private park which borders the national park, but there is no fence or wall between the two, so the animals don't know the...

Day 5... Deepest darkest Africa...

South-Africa/Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport was buzzing... You could feel there was an event going on... Japanese, French, Korean, German, could all be heard clearly around the airport as the tour groups and World Cup travellers started to pour in. Got picked up by a family friend (Nicky, 10...

African Dawn and Skotia

The last week has just flown by. I arrived at African Dawn (Eventually!) on Monday morning. It is located about 30 minutes drive from Jeffrey's Bay and is in the middle of nowhere. I had the day to look around and settle in. The sanctuary is home to Cheetah, Lynx, Marmosets, Squirrel Monkeys,...

Snot, Crap and Cider!

I've had a couple of days in Jeffrey's Bay and I really love it here. Walking along the beach watching the Dolphins has taken up the majority of my time, as well as hanging out and getting to know everyone here. It's really chilled out and just what I needed after a pretty busy week. My birthday...

Elephants in Addo

After posting my last blog in Jeffrey's bay I headed down to the sea front, there were so many dolphins jumping out of the water, I've never seen anything like it! But unfortunatley it wasn't long before I had to leave and head to Sunday's River Valley where I would be spending the night. I'm...

Cape Town to Jeffreys Bay

Well I've had a few days here now and completely lost track of what day/time it is and I'm bloody loving it! I managed to have a day in Cape Town after catching up on some sleep. I bumped into a couple of Aussie girls I met at the Airport, Ivy and Nadine ('Just call me Nads, Y'know, like...

Trains, Planes and a sleeping Swede

Well I think it might be best to cut a long story short! Yesterday at half eleven I got into a car, then I got onto a train, after 3 hours I got onto the tube, then I got onto another train. Then I arrived at Heathrow airport. By this point I already felt as though I had travelled long enough...

Leaving South Africa

, Well that`s 2 months, 5 countries and most importantly some incredible experiences under my belt... South Africa for me provided a pretty conservative beginning for my trip and as a result allowed me to `test the water` in a way that built confidence gradually and I felt that within...
