Episode 5:
Suncity☀️🌆

Our last stop in Suncity – Yes it is just like Las Vegas, South African style! First stop of coarse a safari, you can see all the usual suspects Giraffe, Elephants and Hippos, but ‘The Palace of the Lost City’ Hotel was amazing! Thoroughly Africa, everything was related or inspired by animals just amazing and huge, there is other types of accommodation, from apartments, to units and more hotels. Suncity boasts its own shopping centre, casino, cinema’s and water sand adventure park. All situated approx. 2 ½ hrs drive from Johannesburg, a great way to relax and finish of that South African holiday.

Episode 4
Save and protect 🦏

As an added extra you could be a part of the helping save the rhinos from being de horned! In some parts of South Africa, they de horn the rhinos to stop them from being poached for their horns. At Marakele National Park, they are notching the rhinos ears and placing a small tracking device in the horns, so if they are removed they can be tracked! Notching the rhino’s ear shows everyone they have a tracker which also should deter any poachers.
In Africa poaching for tusks and rhinos horn is still around, whilst there is a demand for the products, there will be a demand for people to pursue this illegal activity at any cost for some.
Using a helicopter to find the rhino, the vet uses a tranquilizing gun to dart them from the sky, once the animal is down, they blindfold them and move swiftly to insert the trackers and notch the ear, they are then given a reversal shot to wake them and watch them for a while, until they make their way off.

Episode 3:
Relaxing by the pool 🦌🍾

We travelled by bus to Marakele National Park, on route to Marataba Safari Lodge, luxury tent accommodation. The lodge sat on top a of ridge with magnificent views over the park. Within the National Park the 'More Collection' have other accommodation styles available, the Mountain Lodge complete with its own chef and host, nestled into the mountain with breathtaking views across the National Park and The Tree House. Our first afternoon was by the pool and we got to spend it with a few locals, a herd of does and fawns came in to graze on the green grass. But then it was off on safari, looking for all the usual suspects, giraffes pocking their heads through the treetops and elephants trying to blend in amongst the trees. We made our way to the river, where we took a very relaxing cruise, with nibbles and a chance to sip local wine, their nestled amongst the reeds and just pocking their nostrils and ears out were some very happy hippos.

Episode 2:
The viewing deck🐘🐆🦓

Travel from Johannesburg to Madikwe Game Reserve was a couple hours of meandering through small towns and look at the rich country side and lush vegetable growing plantations. We arrived at the gate for another drive of approx. 20minutes to Jaci’s Treehouse Lodge, a warm up for what we would see later in the day on our Safari. The Lodge was nestled amongst the vegetation, after a warm welcome and drinks in the reception and dining rooms, we headed along the decks to our rooms, together with their own small bar, an indoor/ outdoor shower and beautiful stone bath in all rooms. Lunch was served on the observation deck looking out over the waterhole, there is also a hide that takes you out into the middle of the waterhole to get those extra close up shots, but don’t get too close or the crocodile will sn**ch your camera!! While we were having lunch in came a herd of elephants all shapes and sizes, traipsing along for a splash and drink. That also brought in the giraffes and weren’t they are site to see trying to bend down and take a drink! So much going on between birds and creatures, we had to drag ourselves away for the safari drive, which also didn’t disappoint. Then it was Sunset drinks and nibbles in a clearing for chat and a laugh, before slowly heading back for lodge for dinner.

Episode 1:
The City of Gold🌆

After stepping off our flight we enjoyed a few days in Johannesburg learning of their history as a Gold mining town that started back in the late 1800’s that grew within approximately 30 years to South Africa’s largest city. The growth was so fast that the infrastructure was not properly in place and could not keep up with the growth. Illness started to take hold on the area, so it was decided to spread everyone out over 3 different segregation's and this is where Soweto was formed. Today Johannesburg is emerging as a city of growth boasting the largest hospital in Africa. Curiocity featuring walks through parts of the city showing amazing street art on buildings, structures and markets all entwined in history. We traveled within Soweto by Tuk Tuk’s with Lebos and enjoyed a delicious local meal in there ‘outdoor restaurant’ visiting Mandela house and just down the road, Archbishop Desmond TuTu’s home, along with the Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial.
Our accommodation in the leafy suburb of Rosebank, had loads of eateries and bars to choose from. The biggest decision was which one! Plan ahead early, you must try Marble Restaurant, it was a truly extravagant meal, but definitely worth it.
