A Game Drive!

This weekend, Anna, Wellyna and I were able to go on a game drive (or what we call a safari in the US) at Kwantu Game Reserve. We decided Friday night that we should do something on Saturday, so we started searching...at 10:00 pm. At Kwantu we found a 3 hour drive including a visit to the predator rehabilitation center, snacks, and a 3-5 course meal for...R500!! That's about $55! Not a bad deal.

When we got there, we were the only ones going on the afternoon ride. So we had our own personal drive! Beyond that, the food that was provided was top-notch. Snacks were quite fancy and the dinner had 2 starters (soup, salad with chicken) which could have been my meal, a main course (lamb curry, rice, vegetables) and dessert. We were treated very well.

Here are some pictures of the day:
