Last Thursday saw me putting my Louboutins in the cupboard and my Uggs in my suitcase for a trip to the game farm to get some way overdue R&R.
There's nothing like swopping your blackberry for a few black rhino and your email account for a herd of elephant. Until of course your life is really put in danger by an elephant charging your vehicle. Bible! Thank god for wine and Savannah, nothing calms the nerves like a nip of alcohol after a near death experience.
Yes, I am the silly blonde in the video that puts her head up just in time to be charged. For peeps that have yet to come to SA for safari, this may look like a chilled lil' Ellie jogging, but I can assure you that 'chilled' is exactly how they look just before they flip your vehicle and ram their tusks through the door and your leg.
The rest of the trip was filled with rare sightings, including 3 Black Rhino (endangered species), a pride of 21 lions, Wild dogs and their six young pups (also endangered species) and a very rare lion kill where two male lions killed a fully grown female rhino.
Good game viewing, great friends and loads of food & wine. No wonder we were all so depressed on the drive home.
