The Travels of Carol and Jeff as they experience life around the globe.

Joburg aka “The City of Gold” aka Johannesburg


Just like its many names, Johannesburg has many different faces.  

South Africa Safari - Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

Murray drove us to Sabi Sabi.  It was almost like another bush drive as we drove on single track dirt roads with animals in sight, including these zebras.

South Africa Safari - Lion Sands, Kruger National Park

We spent 4 nights in the bush of South Africa.  The first 2 nights we stayed inside of Kruger National Park at Lion Sands and the second 2 nights in Sabi Sabi at the Bush Lodge.  Both are quite nice, but Lion Sands was better for the room and maybe Sabi Sabi wins the view.   Between the 2 lodges we saw all 5 of the big 5 and many other animals and learned a lot about the bush and how its natives survive.  (Lion, Leopard, Rhinoceros, Elephant, Water Buffalo)

Cape Peninsula

 

Today our tour group is exploring the Cape Peninsula.  Not a safari, but we did find wildlife, a bit of history and scenic beauty.

Cape Town, South Africa

Next stop on our South Africa adventure - Cape Town also known as the Mother City. 

Franschhoek South Africa

Table Top Mtn

Cape Town at last

After many months of anticipation and a 15 hour flight, we were greeted by a wonderful sunset over Table Top Mountain above Cape Town South Africa.   Our ride then drove us a little over an hour to our hotel in Franschhoek, South Africa.

Where are the Jays going in Summer of 2024

 

It all started with Carol wanting to go on an African Safari.  South Africa and Zimbabwe were selected as it gives us both "Africa's Big 5" as well as touring Cape Town, the story of Nelson Mandela, Cape of Good Hope  and a visit to the Wine lands.
