Garden Route Game Lodge

So we went to the game lodge for 2 nights and 3 days. This was such a peaceful place. The food was excellent. I tried antelope, ostrich neck and curried pickle fish.  The was an endless supply of game meat. Plus the had the best cheddar biscuits. Even better the Re d Lobster. Everyone knows that Red Lobster has cornered the market on cheddar biscuits.

I love animals in the wild it makes you feel at peace to see animals in their natural habitat. Even sometimes I want to pet the lion like he is a big kitty cat. ha ha.

The chalets at the lodge were a good size and very cute. They felt like you were in the wild. While I know I was not roughing it it was nice to for me to trick myself even if for a couple of days. :)

Me feeding the cute elephant

 Ostrich - These little animals run fast

Cape Buffalo- They seem to always have a mean scowl on their face

 

Giraffe- I always think of Fossil Rim a place her in Texas that you can feed the giraffe they stick their head in your car. It is so neat and their tongue are super heavy!

I saw the Big 5 while on the safari. The big 5 are lion, leopard, rhino, cape buffalo and elephant.The members of the Big Five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them and the degree of danger involved, rather than their size. I had the opportunity to feed an elephant that was the highlight of my safari. He was so sweet and just sucked the food right out of my hand.
