As we are currently in transit to our next base in South Africa, Nelspruit, we reflect on some of the free time and adventures that were had.
On some Saturdays and Sunday afternoons we had time to ourselves. These were great opportunities to explore our surrounds. Not far from our humble cabin was a lion park and the Heia safari lodge.
The Lion Park contained a range of African wildlife sectioned off but in their natural environment. As the name suggests, lions were the featured species with 5 separate pride camps. Other attractions were giraffe feeding, walking with cheetahs, night tours and interaction with lion cubs. We couldn’t resist that last one… and who could when they look like this? 🙂
The Heia safari lodge was a great place to see giraffes, zebras and wilderbeasts roam freely amongst diners at the restaurant. This was a pretty cool and unique experience.
These were real treats as I was about to celebrate my first African birthday
