Today we left extra early to our safari in Timbavati!!!

When we arrived to our accommodation, simbavati (which means lion that falls from a star), we were received with warm towels and fancy juice! 

It is such a difference from my last month of traveling!!! We took a "comfort" level safari so this is extra luxurious for my Africa standards! ALL the employees know our names and the name of our rooms, they are very attentive and the service has been phenomenal!


Once again I am in a room all by myself and it is so nice! Single accommodation without paying for it! I'm loving it :-)


After lunch we went on our first game ride!!!!
We are 9 total in our group so I have decided not to take pictures! I will sit and enjoy every second of it instead of being camera ready all the time. Usually I'm sitting next to May and I get to put in requests for pictures (she MIGHT think I'm a little bossy... i'm on her ear whispering how to make the pictures "better" jajaja) We are such a good team: she takes the pictures and I edit ;-) win win situation!

Our first ride was beyond FABULOUS!!!!! within an hour and 15 mins we saw 4 out of the big five.

The big five are the "most dangerous animals to hunt and the ones who kill the most humans" (per tour  guide) these animals are: elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffaloes, and lions.

First stop... Elephants

Then we saw giraffes and zebras


Then the one I have been waiting for... Rhino!!!!!! With a baby one!! I wanted to run, grab the baby and take it home with me!!!! So cute <3

Then we saw a whole lot of buffaloes!!!!



And finally... LIONS!!!!


It was such an amazing experience! Our guides get really close to the animals, we get to go off road and park the car literally a couple of feet away from them! We need to be mindful to keep our voices low and don't scare the animals!!!

The weather went from hot to cold, good thing we were prepared :-) jajajajaja


At around 6pm we get to do a "sun downer" which is the safari name for "happy hour in the wild!"


The three of us at sunset :-)
