Kariega Game Reserve

For our last 3 days in South Africa Sandy and I, along with 22 others, flew 1 hour to Port Elizabeth (and then a 2 hour drive) to the Kariega Game Reserve.  We shared a chalet, with 3 bedrooms- a kitchen (which we didn't use)- living room- and a deck with a nice view of valley, with another couple.  Immediately upon arriving we were treated to a wonderful buffet lunch in the main chalet.

Later in the afternoon we were off on the first of 4 excursions; 6 of us were in an open jeep with our driver in search of the big 5.

the Rhino
 In the course of these 2.5 days we saw all but the elusive cheetah.
