Our last day

Checkout time was 11:00am but we extended it until 11:30 as we were being picked up at 12:00 for the drive back to Johannesburg Airport. We arrived at the airport at 2:00pm and just lazed around waiting for our flight which turned out to be 2 hours delayed.

We arrived in Perth at 2:00pm the next day to be greeted by Kay, Alistair & Rhys. We went up to Yanchep to Trevor & Peta’s place. Peta had organised a fabulous afternoon tea for us. It was nice to sit & relax before going to dinner on the way back to the airport for the final leg of the journey home.

Mankwe Game Excursion

Our last day at Sun City. We didn’t do a lot this morning apart from catch the shuttle for a more in-depth exploration of the facilities. We got off at the Palace Hotel. It is definitely very upmarket. The furnishings & grounds are amazing.

 

 

Next stop on the shuttle was to the Valley of the Waves. It is a man-made wave pool in a lovely relaxing setting. The temperatures were in the mid 30Cs again.

 

We went and got a cold drink before walking back to the hotel. We had some lunch then rested up before going on the Mankwe Game Excursion at 4:30pm.

 

 

We boarded the high jeep truck at the Reception Centre and headed off to Pilanesberg National Park. We encountered elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions and finally got to see some Wildebeest. After sunset we saw some rhinos and an elephant.

 

We were dropped back to the hotel at 7:30 where we had a late dinner at the Mug & Bean. We went up to the room and flopped into bed after packing most of our bags ready for departure the next day.
