Caught your attention with the title, didn’t I? Well it’s true – to a certain extent. On my first experience to a game reserve in South Africa I was nearly attacked by a lion. Today’s tale was originally posted (on my old blog) on July 9th, 2007 after my first stay at a game reserve. Here’s what happened…
Our game reserve was located in Limpopo, which was about 3 hours from our hotel. It was in rural South Africa. Game reserves are a growing form of tourism for the country. In our case, the reserve was a former tobacco farm. As the price of tobacco dropped, the farmers were challenged with earning a profit. Instead, the land was converted into a game reserve.
Alright everyone. You’re in for a treat next week. Wait till you see what we’re going to do. But you need to pack your bags first. What should you bring? Watch this YouTube video for all the details.
We’re going to go on a game drive next week. So I hope you were paying attention to what you need to pack. This will be fun…
Have a great weekend!

Let’s have some adventures, shall we? Today’s post comes to you from the wonderful country of South Africa.
We were driving from Phalaborwa (Pal-a-bore-a) to Polokwane (Pole-a-kwan-e) when our host suggested we stop and see the Giant Baobab Tree. It was a quick diversion on our trip through the City of Tzaneen (Za-neen). See for yourself in the YouTube video.
My sense of time is very off right now. I’m tired, but I can’t sleep. I’m not hungry, but I just ate. I’m finally here in South Africa, staying at the House of Pharaohs. Any guess how long it took me to get here, door-to-door from Orlando? I’ll tell you in a future post, but you can guess.
