Get excited KT & JB!!!

OK, you guys are very caught up in all the stuff you need to do before you leave for South Africa. Time to get you excited. Here are a few things you'll be doing in the next couple of weeks.

Sun City

Renowned for a few years for being more of a "Sin City" until it was reincorporated into South Africa as well as the subject of the song by Artists Against Apartheid (wrong name, I think), it is now just a few place to go.

The kids will love it for the wave pool and the Kamp Kwena.



All of us will enjoy the fact that the resort is right next to Pilanesberg National Park, a great park for seeing The Big 5. And it's malaria free!



Here's a teaser from their web site:

The emphasis of the Exclusive Safari is to locate the Big 5. Specialist guides will ensure guests experience a true African Safari aboard a specially equipped 6-seater Landcruiser. Guests can view Rhino's wallowing in cool mud baths and Bull Elephants fighting for supremacy in the clarity of daylight. Be a silent witness to a Lion kill, as antelopes graze unsuspecting of the danger lurking in the volcanic landscape. Amid the hills far from the Maddened Crowd, you might catch a glimpse of the elusive Buffalo as they wander unrestricted and free.

If you're intent on specific game viewing, then the Rhino Hiking Trail will appeal to adventurous guests. Track the White Rhino on foot within the Letsatsing Game Park. A guide will convey his substantial knowledge of these imposing creatures - feel at one with this primitive African creature.

Passengers aboard the Hot Air Balloon, can enjoy the taste of South African sparkling wine before viewing the full spectrum of the Pilanesberg National Park. On landing you are whisked away to a game lodge where a sumptuous breakfast is served. (nothing like wine in the morning, I say)

Pretoria Zoo

I've heard this zoo will knock your socks. My consultants went there last weekend and walked for six hours and didn't see it all.
