Are we crazy??!! I was not sure, but the afternoon turned out to be fantastic! A guided tour with hands on close up with cheetahs, wild dogs, ostriches, monkeys, impala...
Wow!! We then had to get a lift to the Cheetah lodge which is part of the same reserve but needs a car to really get there. It is a secluded farmhouse and we were the only guests. Quite an honor!!
Ww had dinner made for us special and it was THE BEST meal we have had so far in south Africa. Probably influenced by being sick for a week, but it was simple home cooked meals of local food. Perfect.
A fresh salad, a butternut squash soup, a bomboti (?) which is a sweet meat pie with a soufflé topping, and an apple tart for dinner.
As we were the only guests, we grabbed a bottle of wine and went to the guest tv room to watch the football. A brilliant defeat of Brazil to the Netherlands.
An eat start the next day with a breakfast that matched the reputation. Elloise is the manager of the lodge and is wonderful to welcome and tell the stories of the baby cheetahs that stayed on the lodge, or of Sebastian the dalmation dog that is addicted to biltong and can find it on bags!!
Stay here!!!!
