Arrival in South Africa

After we arrived all of our gear was loaded into a mini trailer that was pulled behind our van. There is major road construction on the main road to Kruger National Park. After sitting at a stand still for at least 30 minutes our driver took ua on a very windy and bumpy road. There was a bar that was down with a large sign that said, "This road is not a good choice as a alternative route." It was about an hour on this road and it was indeed a jarring ride plus the aircon in the van did not work well and it was way too warm. But we safely arrived at our lodging at Buckler's African Lodge. All rooms are spacious, have patios that look our over the Crocodile River and Kruger Park on the other side. We had lunch on the patio and enjoyed seeing elephants crossing the river in the distance. I get to stay here 3 nights!


 


This is the main part of my room and my patio. I has a large bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, a kitchenette area and a sofa.
