There's just wayyyy too many pics from South Africa to finish in 1 post.. and since i'm soooo free from not having to plan any trips.. 
Lunch at Moyo shortly after our arrival in Durban.. Man it's sooo different from beautiful Cape town. Somehow reminded me alot of Kizkalesi in Turkey.. just alot messier and no gorgeous maiden castle. We meant to spend 1 nite in Umkomaas to do a dive or 2.. but unfortunately the swells were too big for the launch.. :( we ended up wasting our time walking ard the not-so-lovely beach of Durban. 
Moyo was pretty nice actually.. well decor-ed with wealthier south africans and tourists as patrons. They even offered free face paint and handwashing services at ur table! 
day 2 we headed up Sani Pass into Lesotho for the sake planting another country flag.. :p That, was really the immigration point! 
with the crazy windows blowing at us, we managed a smile in front of the basotho village huts & our 4 wheel drive ride.. 
Our host for the day, she offered us the bread she baked.. Seriously, i swear all that baking will kill her one day. the damn hut has no ventilation except for that 1 door.. Imagine inhaling all that carbon dioxide - if not carbon monoxide~~ i almost choked myself to death being in there for approx 15mins.. poor red blood cells :(( 
our guide & tour buddy Alex, a frenchie livin in UK for over 10 years. He's got very gd brit humor less the french airs.. & he's coming by Sin in Dec/Jan on his way to Australia as part of his 1 year travel-the-world plan! Jealousss.. 
Outside Sani bar.. 
2nd highest peak in Africa.. @ 2873m high 
Driving to Swaziland.. 306km of straight road.. *yawns*
A gd thing i'm a non-driver..  
Elo swaziland ... The very last monarchy in Africa!
Did u noe that Swazi land has the highest HIV % population in the world of an whooping 38%?! tat's more than 1 in every 3 person!!! 
We got a speed ticket 40mins past immigration driving 100km/hr... cost us 60sgd. DAMN.. 
Manzini city centre.. 
Our not-so-luxurious accomodation for a night which cost more than any of the gorgeous ones we have in Cape Town... & it came with a giant cockroach! Damn the non-existant tourism industry in Swaziland.. We read about the possibility of Schistosomiasis in Swaziland (technically only in still water) but to play safe, we minimised tap waters and had to brush our teeth, wash up with our carton of bottled water. Insanely-careful yes, but better that than infected. I'm still alive! 
Luckily breakfast was decent.. & we drank the non-bottled drinks coz they were piping hot. We had our fill before the long drive to Kruger for the best & last part of our fantastic trip.. :D 
After getting slightly lost in the wild, we finally found our way! 
Helo gorgeous Chitwa Chitwa~ Sabi sands is Kruger's private game reserve where safari vehicles could go offroads to get better sightings of animals. Boy & i figured if we're gona do a safari, might as well do it luxuriously in Sabi sands than the camping grounds of Kruger.. :p 
Our first sighting at lunch where the dining area over looks the lake (watering hole)... so cool ;) 
The cheetah sent everyone from all over the lodge running over to the watering hole. :D 
Panaromic view of our room! :D Gorgeous!!!!! it had a patio with a view of the watering hole for us to see the animals~ 
Isnt it yummy? I could soooo live there.. 
The teabreak area where we get morning & afternnon teas before game drives.. 
Chillout bar for pre-dinner drinks 
The enormous kickass fire place at the chillout lounge area.. luv luv luvvv 
Game drive 1 + animal 1 = Cheetah. Apparently it's very rare to see cheetahs!!!! and a really fat belly one too! 
Buffalos... super grumpy old men aret they? 
Wildebeest.. it looks damn skinny coz of the vertical lines! 
Helo Hippoooo 
Zebras!! or is it Jeebraa ala Ris Low ? :p 
Wat a big boy ;) 
Have u had enuff of animal sightings? :p 
Our first leopard sighting... 
Desserts by the bed every nite.. so sweet!~ 
Becoz it was my birthday... boy & i had a private birthday dinner in a boma lighted by candle lights & a bon fire... totally romantic. too bad for my lousy photography skills.. :( 
It's so romantic ANY girl will melt.. it was by far the best birthday i had.. :)

Just as i thought it was already perfect, they danced, sang a lovely african birthday song and... 
presented me with.. 
a SUPER YUMMY home made choco cake!! I felt like i was dreaming!! 
Day 2 game drive: a giraffe...dead. 
warthog.. it looks damn cute! 
opps another dead impala.. 
Murderer!!!! Wild dog.. South African's most endangered carnivore. Damn rare sighting! 
it's really rare to see wild dogs, let alone see it kill.. 
Leopard mama and its baby 
Boy ticked off one of his to-dos: Run in a safari.. 
We followed closely behind just in case they ran into any dangerous animals.. Boy had Johan (our guide) with him.. 
Chilling on the deck after our lunch at the dining huts.. It was one of the few places with a decent reception!! 
Impalas by our pool in our lodge.. 
Resident woodpecker. we heard him metres away before we actually spotted him!!! so cute! 
Drizzling on day 3 morning game drive.. the winds didnt help and we seriously looked hideous with the ugly poncho. 
Watch out! Elephant crossing! 
Bats in our hut.. 
my $12sgd shoes purchase.. thats the only thing i bought!! haha ... no choice when all i packed were sandals.. sigh 
baby & i stopping for afternoon tea break. 
Our ranger spotted it on a tree in the dark! amazing eyes!! 
Bush baby!! so cuteee 
boma dinner on the last nite with the other 12 guests in the lodge.. 
i swear if there were mini giraffees, they will make damn cute home pets! 
Our norweigian friends (ladies in the middle) ,.. both doctors!! 
Starbucks in the middle of the safari.. boy feels blessed.. 
Boy with dr livingston.. our fav guest in the lodge..  Our croco sighting finished our safari in Sabi Sands with a bang! 
View of Nelspruit from restaurant Orange.. 
i tink the view's better than the food. :p 
Nelspruit airport... looks like a resort on its own.. 
Our last stay for the night came with a small gift :D 
& baby's fav nespresso machine! That's about it for my best holiday so far!!! I cant help but keep raving about South Africa to everyone!!! So if you've not been to South Africa.... GO!! It's such a perfect place for honeymoon i wonder where i can go for a more memorable trip when it's my honeymoon. & just in case I'm biased coz i planned this trip, Boy affirmed the awesome-ness of this holiday too! He kept repeating how much he enjoyed the safari.. best holiday he ever, loved the food, he could live in Cape town, bla blah blah blah blah... Soooo sooo blessed |
