Another safari - Madikwe

We had the opportunity to go on another safari.  This time we visited the Madikwe Game Reserve in the northwest corner of South Africa near Botswana and closer to the Kalahari Desert than to Johannesburg.  On the dirt road close to the entrance we noticed that we had a flat tire.  This was no flat, this was a shredded tire.  After entering the game reserve we came upon an elephant drinking from the man-made watering hole.  He stopped drinking and almost seemed to pose for us.  We love to visit the animals in their natural habitat!




The Mosetlha Lodge we stayed at was considered an eco-lodge.  This really means no electricity, no running water, no frills.  But it was actually quite fun.  The grounds were unfenced and lions roamed into camp one night.  We gathered and heated our own shower water in the donkey boiler and enjoyed the simplicity of it all.
