We spent 3 nights at Inyati Game Reserve. It overlooks the Sand River in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to Kruger National Park. Inyati is small on the accommodation side (only 11 chalets) but the reserve covers a large area which we like (50,00 hectares plus it has transversing rights with aContinue reading “Inyati Game Lodge”

We really enjoyed our time in Wilderness. Although the village is small, there are many things to do in the surrounding areas. Also, this is a great place just to relax. Below are the photos from our last week here. Morning exploring and lunch at Fancourt. As you will see from the pictures below, FancourtContinue reading “Our last week in Wilderness”

The celebrations began on February 16th as we headed up the coast.

After spending 6 days in Hout Bay, we drove along the Garden route to Wilderness (~7 hour drive). Deb and Karen once again did all of the driving, so it was very relaxing for us – we just sat back and enjoyed the scenery. We had a picnic lunch along the way and also stoppedContinue reading “Off to Wilderness”

We are pleased to be back in South Africa once again. We flew British Airways this year which is our normal route. Although we liked last year’s direct flight from New York to Cape Town, United almost doubled their pricing, making it just too expensive. Our flight was uneventful, which is a very good thing.Continue reading “Back in South Africa”

Our time at Reserva Conchal has flown by. We are into a routine and have really enjoyed the condo and the facilities at Reserva Conchal. Although we had a few days of rain, travelling this time of year (during Oct/Nov peak rain months) has many advantages – very comfortable temperatures and most days a coolingContinue reading “Our Last Days in Reserva Conchal”

After a few days of rain, the sun is shining again. As I mentioned in my previous post, the balcony at the condo is a relaxing place for Larry to read and for me to do a few fun projects on my computer….so the balcony was perfect for the rainy days. On Sunday we wentContinue reading “The Skies Cleared”
