Days 1-2

We landed in Johannesburg and travelled to Sebatana Rhino Lodge East, our base for the week. I stepped into my lodge and spotted giraffes strolling outside – an incredible welcome to the bush. That evening, we enjoyed a local curry, before an early night ahead of our first sunrise game drive.

Day 3

The early start paid off, as we encountered elephants, giraffes and crocodiles. Our guide Janique even showed us a quirky trick when viewing crocodiles – crinkling a crisp packet! Later, we relaxed by the pool before a campfire dinner, where my impala steak was the highlight.
