We're now in Johannesburg Airport after having been at the Makutsi Safari Farm since last Monday. We had a fantastic time. Saw lots of wild animals and people! Met some fantastic Aussies and Carla and Wolf from Hamburg in Germany where we're going to go and have a reunion. Such a friendly couple.
Monday - Got picked up at 11am and drove 6 hours to get to Makutsi. Passed "Belfast" and Lyndenburg. Black towns. Stopped at Harry's Pancake Place for lunch and got to know the two mothers' and sons. Marguerite and Winston and Cheryl and Daniel. All from Melbourne. There was also another Father and Son - Michael and Klaas. When we arrived we found that most of the people at Makutsi are German - 80%.
