Greetings from Thornybush Game Reserve

I'm not in the vehicle, but I could be. Wish I could upload pictures, but wifi is an issue. 

My Adventures in Africa consist of 3 separate phases: pre, main, and post.

My travel companion, Karolyn, insisted on the Pre Trip and Post-Trip Extensions since as she said, "I probably won't be going back." I disagree and suspect I might be going back, but I signed up for all 3 weeks. I'm in the pre-trip phase.

Today is dedicated to game-viewing at the Thornybush Game Reserve. After a spot of tea, we embark on our "hunt" for herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope, zebra, and eland. Great guides to point out the wildlife. Dinner in the lodge tonight.

From the pre-trip brochure:  

A 34,595-acre private and intimate game reserve, Thornybush is bursting with wildlife, housing more than 500 bird species and 140 species of mammals, including the famed “Big Five.” This rugged landscape—mostly open savannah, complemented by the beautiful Drakensberg Escarpment in the distance—borders Kruger National Park and is ideal for spotting the rich diversity of game here. And because this is a private, isolated reserve, you’ll be able to enjoy activities like going off-road in search of elusive wildlife without the crowds
