Apr 26 Still at Nottens Bush Camp

 Apr 26 - our last full day at Nottens

This is a fantastic lodge!  It is the oldest of the lodges we have stayed in, but in every way it has exceeded our expectations in terms of meals, accommodation, staff, and the sheer number of animals we have seen!

The first night we had a wonderful meal in a different dining room on a lower level deck as a special welcome - tomato bisque, prawns with a lovely sauce, filet mignon with vegetables and mashed potatoes, and tiramisu for dessert.  It seems each day here has had a ‘ special surprise - afternoon pre dinner drinks at a bonfire set up in a clearing in the bush and catered by the kitchen staff! breakfast in the bush complete with a table set up, mimosas, full breakfast buffet once again prepared by the kitchen staff! 

It was another great day of animal sightings on two game drives.  I will post some pictures below….

When we see animals, Jeff goes off road so that we can get up close for photos!  Many of the animals are nonchalant - especially elephants, big cats, and giraffes and don’t run off.

More rhinos…

And another Kruger Sunset to top off yet another wonderful day!

Our last game drive will be tomorrow morning before we head to the Skukuza Airport for our return to Johannesburg and the long journey home.
