It was a rough start today...the guide was late because of tourists at another hotel, we were stuck in morning traffic, and Birger was irritated when we picked him up because he had waited the longest for a pick-up, but once on the reserve, the frustration was well worth the delays. The reserve is about 2 hours away from downtown Johannesburg and there was alot of open space along the way.
These are only a snipet of the pics we have. I don't want blogger to crash!
