On safari, your daily schedule is set by the lodge with time to relax during the day. If you are not a morning person (me) you will quickly learn to morph into one or you will miss out, and you don’t want to miss out! At Inyati, the daily schedule […]
Arriving at Inyati Safari Lodge at lunchtime meant that I would be able to join the afternoon safari game drive. Not knowing what to expect, I prepared my backpack with all of the “safari essentials” I had relied on during the past week of safari trek/drives in Botswana. My essentials now […]
Turning off the dirt road toward the Inyati Private Game Reserve entrance gate, the anticipation was building – this was my South African safari, in Sabi Sands no less. The shuttle driver escorted me to the gift shop entrance which also serves as the check in desk. I was welcomed […]
