South African Safari

We spent 4 days on safari at Sir Richard Branson's Ulusaba Reserve and had an amazing time.  It took a few days but we saw all of the "Big Five" (lions, leopards, cape buffalo, elephants, and rhinos).    More to come - Cheers, Chris.

Ulusaba was about an hour flight on the bush plane from Johannesburg. 

Bryce had a pensive look the eve of our first game drive. 

The main lodge was beautiful. 

Bryce and Phillip were hot on the tracks of something. The gun was a necessity every time we left the Land Rover. 

 An awesome sight

We saw 2 giraffes on our frst evening game drive. 

The hippos were not happy with our presence.

Impala (yes we ate some) 

Kudu (also tasty as jerky!)

Kaiser our expert tracker

Morning tea 

I think the Leopards were our favorite.  An awesome animal.

Dinner was a special time. 

Sunrise over the game reserve. 

Wildebeest (a very tasty game meat, Bryce and I had some and now understand why 4 out of 5 lions prefer it for dinner) 

The zebras thought something was funny!
