Ezulwini, Timbali Lodge
We headed off to Mkhaya Big Game Park to meet the guide outside at 10am. Once again we were lucky and there was only us, we climbed into the back of his open jeep and headed off to the park. As we were signing in an older guy started chatting with us and told us about the horrid history of Rhino’s being killed for their horns. Later on our guide told us he was the owner of all the Big Game Parks in Swaziland – Ted Reilly – what a lovely unassuming man, he never let on.Before long we came across a massive white rhino, followed by elephants, zebra, giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, warthogs, buffalo, gazelles etc. The guide kept telling us how lucky we were as he often drives around for 2 hours and can’t find any animals. He also said it was unusual to see so many animals out when the day was so hot.
We had a beautiful lunch with table service set just for us in a gorgeous African Bush setting - one of the items we tried was impala pie!. Then we started back seeing more animals as we went along. Another evening catching up on the computer –can’t believe we have finally caught up with the blog! Tomorrow we drive to Zululand (and if M asks me one more time if it's Africa's answer to Disneyland I'm going to feed him to the lions .....)
Update: Here's a short video of the first big game animal we ever saw in the wild:
