All the advice that was given to us pointed us in the direction of getting up around 530 and getting into the park as early as possible because the cats like to hunt in the morning or at night, that being said after a few beers watching the games the night before put our start at around 630 which is really pretty reasonable. The trip to the park took about 20 min and we were soon inside after being admitted through the gate. Now being the competitive skugs that we are, it pretty much became a game to see who could spot the best animal or in the thickest bush. This also meant that driving fast in the park was pretty much out of the question and we spent most of our time on the paved roads driving around 40k/hour and 20-30k/hour on the dirt roads. It was worthwhile though and we saw a lot of great animals and scenery but no cats. By the end of 8 hours of driving on the roads, we were pretty much sick of seeing impala as well. Judging by the amount of impala we speculated that the lions were probably pretty well fed and gigantic. We got to our camp with about an hour of daylight and kicked the soccer ball around amidst monkeys and impala, pretty awesome.
Sounds like you guys are living it up there. How was the Slovenia game?
ReplyDeleteIt was good man, really disappointing that they disallowed the 3rd goal but it was incredible to see us come back from being down 2 goals. Awesome crowd too but Johannesburg is not really my favorite place. As we left there was a fire raging out of control along the hillside and no one was really concerned, pretty crazy. We ended up staying in Pretoria that night and have been there since so it's been a lot of fun.
