Next 7 days: hunting, trekking and safari...

Picked up a couple of new guests early this morning at Jo´burg airport. They are the persons that I will be away with the next 7 days. We are off to Limpopo tomorrow for a 3 day hunt where we will be staying in a tented camp so that should be very exiting. Im driving ahead tomorrow morning (4hrs) with one of the helpers and we will be preparing lunch etc for the guests when they arrive. After the 3 days Im driving them to the Drakensberg Mountains (5hrs) where we will have two nights at the lodge Coach House. From there we will be taking in the spetacular scenery and waterfalls and do a bit of trekking. From Coach House we drive to Idube lodge and game reserve at the Kruger Park. Idube should be one of South Africas top safari places if not the best. We have an evening drive there with spotlights and then an early morning drive where the wildlife is very active as well. So Im really looking fwd to the upcoming days as you can guess! Below photos from today picking up guests at the airport, our chef Johns preparing dinner and then photos from our Manor house where we have dinner every night if there are guests staying. Finally a photo of the two labs Bruno and Thor that I take for a walk etc twice a day. Holger is away for 10 days sightseeing and hunting in Australia so now the dogs follow me everywhere. He has a 3rd dog Spotty which is a Jack Russel terrier. A right little character!
The dogs here are higher in the hierachy than me, but I can live with that... :-)
