It is our last morning game drive today and then we head off to Jo’burg. This morning’s game drive was quiet again, all the animals must be taking a break, well at least the cats. We did see lots of zebra, kudu, rhinos and warthogs. We did get to see a brown hyena from afar (through binoculars), which was cool as they are normally nocturnal.

A shower to de-dust and then to pack our bags in preparation for our departure. We have enjoyed our three nights here at Sekala Private Game Lodge in Welgevonden Private Game Reserve. Our own little private chalet (with an outside shower), great main building where we sat in the afternoon between breakfast and lunch and watched what wandered up to the watering hole. Everyone at the Lodge was gorgeous and had an amazing time. However, it was time for us to leave.
We headed off to Jo’burg which should be only about a 3 hr drive, with most of it on the freeway/toll way at 120kmh. It’s fun driving in South Africa. Getting through the toll booths were much better this time as we had the cash ready and made sure we went through the right gates. All was going well until we just got past Pretoria and the traffic stopped and we crawled along at walking pace for about half an hour. We thought it was because the stuff toll booths on the 6 lane N1 toll way in the city, but it was because there was an accident. That information sign a few kms back, Crash – Flying Saucer - made sense when we got near to the accident and realised that there is an interchange called Flying Saucer.
Got to our nice apartment and doing two loads of washing so we don’t take home dusty clothes.
Holidays are over and we head home tomorrow.
