I’ve finally arrived!

After a fabulous 2 weeks in England I have arrived here safe and sound in South Africa with no incidents. It was a long journey starting at a 4-hour bus trip from Exeter to Heathrow, than a 17-hour flight including layover from England to Johannesburg, and the last leg of the trip was a 6.5-hour bus ride to the game lodge. Luckily, I was able to sleep on both the buses and the plane so I wasn’t too exhausted when I arrived.


There are 16 people in our group on the course with most coming from England. One from Scotland, Ireland and Whales. Two are from the US and there is even a guy from Brandon Manitoba! So at least I am not the only Canadian.


I room with a girl named Ruth in our cozy round shack with a thatched roof. It only has 2 beds and a closet but it will work.

Erica you will be happy to know that one of the first animals I saw was some giraffe on the side of the road. No pictures yet though.

Well that is all for now we are having Brai that’s South African for BBQ.
