Well we have just returned from another of the morning game drives here at the Impodimo Lodge. The lodge is in the Madikwe Game Reserve about 4 hours north west of Johannesburg by car. There are about 20 or more lodges in the 75,000 hectare reserve, all privately run. This lodge has rooms for about 8 couples or groups. The bed has a huge netting canopy above it with all the mod cons, even an outside shower. The order of the day is that we go out at about 7am for a 3 or 4 hour drive with the driver and his local tracker. Home for breakfast at about 11 am, then siesta until 3 when we have high tea at the pool, followed by an evening drive and dinner at about 8pm. All the meals are beautifully cooked. So far we have see lots of beautiful animal up close - confirming everything in the films and documentaries about Africa that we have seen.
The weather is cool but a little windy, which tends to keep the animals hunkered down out of the wind.
Tomorrow we head back to Johannesburg where we meet up with Amy and Jeromé. The following day we head up to Livingstone to spend 3 days before we join our 3 week truck tour South to Capetown.
