We were able to get away for 2 days 23rd/24th Dec to Madikwe Game Reserve about 4 hours north of Johannesburg. The bushcamp we stayed at, Mosethla, has no running water or electricity but very comfortabe nonetheless; to take a shower meant filling your bucket, heating the water using something called a donkey boiler and then pouring the water from your bucket into the bucket that had a little tap on it!
We had 2 game drives and saw elephants, giraffes, rhinos, wild dogs, buffaloes, wildebeests, impalas, elands, klipspringers etc etc. We also witnessed 2 lions having a fight! Apparently, the one lion was interested in a lioness and her brother was trying to protect her but was soon seen off! We were very close to them, about 15 feet away, quite scary, roars of the lions very very loud! One of the other couple missionaries managed to get some of it on video and you can see it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc1pk7w2M0E
Turn the volume up to get full effect!
