The Madikwe game trip we took was taken in
June (our winter) with Barbara, Maddie and Sam. We stayed in a bush camp.
Showered with hot water from a “water donkey” and slept in a platform tent complete
with hot water bottles.
We went on game drives in the morning and evening. It
was cold on the drives but nice and warm during the day. We felt like we were
all alone in the area and there wasn’t anyone around for hundreds of miles. The
stars were amazing and our “host” showed us the constellations such as the
Southern Cross.
We had a lion sit about 10 feet from our jeep to rest in the
shade! We stopped by a watering hole and just watched the elephants, lions,
impalas and other animals come into get water. We got to see lions napping,
rhinos wandering around, elephants fighting and playing. We even saw a few
giraffes. The animals were all so close!
The bush camp was nice and the food was good. The best part was being
with Barb and kids while seeing Africa. The part that wasn’t as good was the
cold! It probably would have been better to go when it was warmer but it was so
fun, who cared?
