Dottie and Jane were picked up from the Aero Guesthouse in Kempton Park and transfered to the Numbi Gate were they were met, and after check in procedures were taken down to the camp of Pretoriuskop were they checked in and were given some time to have lunch before leaving on there first game drive. We left camp at 15h00 and made our way in an easterly direction on the napi road. The afternoons game drive was a bit quite with a large herd of buffalo and elephant being seen. We made our way back to camp, arriving at 17h30. Guests got to enjoy a good dinner before making there way back to there bungalow for a good nights rest before leaving early in the morning again.
Guests got up at 05h00, and after enjoying tea and coffee it was out of the camp to see what we could find. After a short distance from the camp we came across some rhino, elephant anfd buffalo and it was not long before we got a female lion walking on the fire break next to our vehicle. We were also concentrating on a lot of the bird species as Jane was an avid birder.
We made our way down to Nkulu picnic spot to enjoy some breakfast before continuing on to see what we could find. We made our way to the Numbi Gate in order to allow other guests Connie and Theo to get there transport back to Johannesburg before we continued on. We took a break in the middle of the day to have a rest, before going out again from 14h00 as Dottie and Jane were booked on a sunset safari that left the camp at 17h00. After a slow afternoon we got b ack to camp just in time for a toilet break and then it was time for Dottie and Jane to be out on the Sunset Safari. While out on the Sunset Safari, they got to see a good sighting of leopard, rhino, elephant, civet cat and numerous other animal and bird species. Upon the return of the guests, it was off to the restaurant for some good dinner and then off to bed after a long day.
The following morning, it was up early and again after enjoying tea and coffee it was back on the road to find some hippo and crocodile as well as some ground hornbills that Jane wanted to see. We made our way in the direction of Nkulu and managed to find all of what we were looking for. We enjoyed a good breakfast, before making our way back in the direction of the Numbi Gate and the city of Nelspruit, were we changed over from our open safari vehicle and made our way back to Johannesburg and the Aero guesthouse.
The feedback from Dottie and Jane was that they had a wonderful time, got to see all the animals they wanted to see and more as well as got some wonderful photos while on safari. We at Nhongo Safaris would love to see them return to us on another safari sometime.

This sounds like an extremely eventful holiday! With no dissapointment at all! Luxury safaris can sometimes miss going out at 'peak' times to see certain animals which are out at a certain time of the day. But you guys seemed to hit it on the head and ensured that all animals were seen. Great work!
