Ian gave a brilliant review of his trip last November and thought it may be worth adding to this as we went in what is their winter. Yes Mornings and evenings were cold but the daytime temperatures were really comfortable , and actually quite hot at times. For me, personally, this would be the best time to go if you suffer in the heat. 

About 2 hours drive from the airport set in a very large game reservce the Safari Plains area had 20 large glamping tents which provided us with single occupancy and all the facilities of a hotel on a 5 star level. 

I posted lots on FB on my return and ran out of adjectives and superlatives to describe what was the most amazing holiday. 

The country, the safari's, the accommodation (including a coffee machine!!), the food (so much food!), the wonderfully welcoming staff who made you feel part of their family and the many extra little touches provided to make us comfortable and feel quite special. A hot water bottle and poncho in the jeep for the early morning trips and an electric blanket turned on for when we returned to our beds at night. Many more treats which I, (As Ian did), will leave for any future travellers to discover for themselves. 

The time between our after safari breakfast and afternoon tea was mainly spent sitting outside the tent on the veranda. enjoying the quiet calm of the bush and the wondrfully clean air. Some of our group enjoyed the use of the pool, albeit somewhat cold, and sitting on the sun beds or in the bar area. Plenty of space to enjoy a restful few hours before the afternoon safari. 

We were a group of 11, with one really lovely gentleman who tolerated 10 noisy ladies with great patience. We all got on really well and are keeping in touch. 

We were lucky enough to see 4 of the Big Five (The Leopard is very elusive) and got up very close to many animals. Giraffes are so nosey and Warthogs so fast! 

We had amazing guides and ours, Sanesh, was so knowledgeable from the animals, birds and stars to insects and poo. We learnt so much; who knew why poo was white and which animal ate it?  

For me this was my best holiday every, absolutely no complaints, would thoroughly recommend, it was just amazing.
