Expedition Day 3 “Another s**t day in Africa” as Tony would say. Started off early(ish), ready for the Dolphin experience boat trip for 7 o clock. Many of us were bitten to hell throughout the night especially George & Stuart. So we sat down and waited for the man to tell us what to do. […]

Day 9 &10 – Second Day of the Expedition
Woke up at six o clock, reluctant to leave the awesome comfy-ness of the Kosi Bay beds but knowing that we had less than an hour before we would be on the road to Mozambique. We sleep-walked our way through breakfast and all too soon our big bags were on our backs and we were […]

Day 4 and 5 – Wilderness Trail

Day 2 – Elephant Interaction
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.

Big Cat and Fish
Leopard! On the night drive last night Stephanie and Adrian saw a Leopard! They saw lots of animals, but I can’t tell you what they were as all they kept saying was “Leopard!!”. Breakfast this morning brought us a handful of guests to the table, namely the Warthog family. Out on the boat again today, […]
