(Saturday - Wednesday)
WOW what a brilliant experience :D loved every minute of it & defo have to go back sometime sooooon :D hehe (:
The camp we stayed in with Tydon Safaris was lovely (: a tented camp with only 6 tents so was small & quiet.....listening to the African bush was amazing :D the tents had toilets & showers hehe (: but at night it was lovely to sit around the camp fire & eat food cooked on the fire in a traditional African bush way! & the guides were very lovely (:
First day we went out on a night drive which was wicked (: we saw Giraffe & Rhinos, & I got to hold a Chameleon :D hehe! We were just driving along & he stopped and just got it out the tree haha (: it was funny! He didn't wanna let go of my hand either hehe (: & the Giraffe's were amazing up close to see :D very lucky....although once it got dark it was a bit chilly!!
On the second day we went off into the Kruger for the day. It was fantastic, & we saw SO many animals which was wicked! The suspense as to what you're going to see next is brilliant hehe (: we saw Zebras, Giraffes, Elephants, Hippos, Lions, lots of Birds etc etc! Was excellent :D we saw Elephant's crossing the river & then they was a herd of about 20 in front of us! Was brilliant! The Fish Eagles were really amazing they're sooooo large its unbelievable but they are very beautiful birds to see :D
The third day we did a bush walk back in Sabi Sands in the morning! We left before sunrise & it was lovely. Seeing the sunrise was amazing. We didn't really see any animals but it was quite cool to be wondering around! We found a Kudo tooth which I bough home hehe (: Its massive!! We tried to track some Elephant's, but we got to the end of the camps land & we coudn't go any further! It was pretty cool though (: we then got to chill for the afternoon in the sunshine at the camp which was very nice (: in the evening we went on another drive in Sabi & saw all the big 5!!!!! As we came in we saw Buffalo, & the guide sat me up on the front of the truck in the spotters seat & we drove right up to them!! It was amazing to be so close to them!! He then told me afterwards they're the most dangerous of the big 5!! Aaahhh!! We then saw the Black Rhino who was a bit fierce, and couldn't decide whether to run at us or not!!! & then we saw 3 lions lying down happily on the land next door. Then once it got dark we came across a whole big herd of Elephants! He put the lights off & we sat in the dark listening to them chomping and walking. They make such little noise for the size of them when they walk!! Its amazing (: but me & mum were a bit worried they were gunna creep up behind us hahahaha (: then as we were driving back to camp a Leopard just walked out in front of us, followed by a second one! We pulled off the road to follow them & they mated in front of us!!!!! We then followed for a bit which was amazing (: Dad loves them :D
The forth day we spent back in Kruger, & again we were very lucky & saw lots. The weather was very dull & cold so we all wrapped in blankets on the truck :D hehe (: we saw Giraffes fighting each other, & we actually heard the whack as they hit each other with their necks which was a bit gross!!! We saw Ostrich which are apparently rare in the Kruger, & a Sabel which is rare too!
On the last day we took a scenic route home, & saw out of Gods Window & lots of other pretty scenery. We also stopped at a place for some yummy waffles :D hehe
A big massive thanks to the guides at Tydon for a wonderful experience!! I defo wanna go back again :D hehe (:
