No longerinterested in football we have gone in search of the Big 5 to the Madikwe game reserve in the North West Province. The game reserve is privately owned and the size of Wales. What I want to know is why did the tour guide pick Wales as the example!? She didn't know either someone had just told her!! But it makes sense so why knock it!? We went in search of the Big 5 and ticked off, Lions, Rhinos, Leopard, Elephants and were some what confused when we got back to camp and the guide said we were lucky we managed to see all 5!?! When I said we had only seen four species she explained. The Big 5 are Lion, Leopard, Elephant, white Rhino and Black Rhino! Got it!! We then retired for the day after dinner and a few beers around the campfire.....that's when it got exciting!! Big Hoff's now legendary snoring attracted the interest of two young male Lions!! We weren't sure whether they wanted to eat him, mate with him or get him to lead the pride!?! Out here how load your roar is counts and trust me Big Hoff can roar!!
They lost interest when the guide threw a log on the fire and so we slept easy. Thank goodness for Bose!!
On a personal note we woke to some very sad news regarding my mother who has sadly and suddenly passed away so we cut short our safari and headed back to Pretoria to see if we can get home.
