10/31 Head to Safari Game Reserve & 11/1 Game Drive

Short drive today to the “Shamwari Private Game Reserve”. Over some Gorges and interesting landscape. Arrive around 1:00pm. Three nights here, with game viewing drives daily. So the real Safari begins. Hopefully we will see the “Big Five”, Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant, and Buffalo. We will be led by very professional ranger guides.

After a fairly brief lunch, we are led to our rooms, gathering at 3pm for a briefing, meeting our guides, and off to our first game drive at 4pm.

Awesome it was already. Beautiful day, a little cool but ok. Saw Three of the big five already. Early morning rise and shine, 5:30am wake up, 6:30am game drive, back for breakfast at 9:00am prox. Afternoon rest. Then 3:00pm meet with Shamwari owner, then off to evening game drive and dinner.
