Some snaps on the way to East London.
Our first sign of wildlife :)

East London was amazing. We stayed on Andrew and Cherry’s game farm in Morgan’s Bay and were treated to stay in the Nyala room named after the Nyala buck. What luxury!

Some snaps at the horseshoe bend in the Kei River.

I don’t know how we are ever going to eat just pasta and rice concoctions after the yummy foods we have eaten - stews and sushi in Cape Town, roasts and divine meat in East London. Hmmm, I think Campbell and I will have to resort to a nice restaurant every few weeks. Hee hee.

After a stunning game drive on the farm and lots of bubbly, mint and cherries (cherries from Cherry..heehee), Campbell and I headed to Masselsport, just passed Bloemfontein, for our first real night of camping. One thunder storm later we made camp for the first night in the Landy to London expedition. We also had our first “overlanding” experience down a 13km dirt track littered with potholes hidden by floods of water. Tidal waves splashed over the bonnet and with nothing but our spotlights and the lightning to guide our way it was AWESOME!

Celebratory drinks!

Game spotting.

Campbell's first giraffe sighting!

Our first successful camp - check out that awning!!

On Monday morning we made our way to Klerksdorp to do some best man admin at Bona Bona game reserve. Stunning place and I can only imagine how gorgeous it will be for Kayne and Anelia’s wedding.

Next stop Joies. I can’t believe a week has gone by and everyday has been a whirlwind of lists and tasks to do for the trip and to repair the damage to the landy. I won’t bore you with the details; I will let Campbell do that. Just teasing!

Heading off into deepest darkest Africa today and we are SOOOOO EXCITED!! We will camp just before the Gabarone border and then negotiate accommodation in game reserves on Monday.
