We were sad to say goodbye to everyone at Sabi Sabi. It had been such a wonderful two days. One surprise for us after we arrived at Sabi Sabi was that it wasn't actually n the Kruger Park, but adjoining it. All around the Kruger are privately owned game reserves and Sabi Sabi was in the Sabi Sands game reserve.
We set off for the day's drive of 360 kms heading for the small town of Tsvaneen in the Limpopo region of South Africa. After about an hour's drive we entered the Kruger through. The Kruger Park is simply huge. It measures nearly 500 kms from north to south and about 100 kms east to west. Our route north took us within 20 kms of Mozambique. Wildlife is everywhere. Bob and Thelma Howells and their daughter Gemma watched a pride of lions eating their kill, a giraffe. We only drove halfway through the park and that took us six hours as there is a strictly enforced 50 kph speed limit.
We had to stop for several groups of giraffe as they crossed the road. It all made for a memorable experience.

After we left the park another 120 kms took us to our beautiful hotel, The Coach House.

Tomorrow we cross into Botswana on the longest drive of the tour so far, 700 kms. Should be comparatively easy as it is virtually all on tarmac.
