Today started with one of tommy’s infamous wake up calls, violently shaking the tent yelling “Good morning my sleeping beauties” giving us all the shock of our lives before we fell into fits of giggles, even first thing in the morning this trip is exciting. We expected today to be one of the quieter ones, […]

Bye bye Kiboko!
As always we had lots of fun with our group of 11 Kiboko guests. There wasn’t a quiet moment! Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip everyone!
Day 6 – Tembe Elephant Reserve
Time to say good bye to Kosi Bay as the boys set out at 6:30 am to head once more to their Hluhluwe accommodation at Umkhumbi Lodge. But whilst we’re driving past Tembe Elephant Reserve, it would be wrong not to go in… wouldn’t it? Don’t let the name fool you, Tembe Elephant reserve is […]
Day 5 – Kosi Bay Turtle Tour
An early start for Jason and Adam today as they head up to Ndumo Game reserve for a full day of fantastic bird and animal sightings. Only one thing can top a great day, and that is going on a Turtle tour. Sea turtles who usually live in the deep deep depths come on land […]
