After a week in Cape Town we headed to the eastern side of the country to see some big animals. We spent a few nights at the Pondoro Lodge in part of the greater Kruger National Park. Pondoro is an incredible spot and my parents were treated with quite an array of beasts. Highlights included a pride of 9 lions lying together under a tree; a gigantic elephant saying hello while crossing the road; and dozens of hippos chilling in the river. We enjoyed our nightly sundowners; Lar dug sitting shotgun with the safari guide and we all loved the amazing dinners including ostrich filet (which tastes like steak, not chicken) and impala pie!

We had an incredible couple of weeks with Sal and Lar and we can’t thank them enough for making it all the way over to South Africa, and spoiling us to boot!
