Quick update.
We are back in South Africa for now. After the Okavango Delta we visited the Khama Rhino Sanctuary for a night where we saw quite a few white rhino up close and then moved on to the capital of Botswana which isn't anything special.
With quite a bit of time left on our car rental we are doing some sight seeing of South Africa knocking of the Pilansberg National Park (fantastic little park with all the big animals), Sun City (SA's bad attempt at Vegas), and the Drakensberg escarpment area (an amazing very green wet place between the highlands and the lowlands with huge waterfalls and amazing rock formations).
We are now heading towards the Drakensberg Mountains until we return the car in J'burg. Tonight we are staying in a lovely hostel with the most unhelpful, angry staff member who epitomises service in South Africa... called Happiness.
Angry, unhelpful service...? In South Africa...? No way :). Glad you guys are braving J'burg...hopefully you get to see some of the nicer parts (or are you simply stopping by the airport)? If you need a place to stay, my dad is about 15 minutes from the airport...he'd be happy to accommodate you guys. His number is 082 457 6637-Joe. I mentioned this to Dani a while back...anyway, enjoy the mountains, they are stunning! Pity you couldn't make Kruger-puts Pilansberg to shame!
