After a very long day of 7 hours of driving, 11 hours flying and then 9 hours more driving, we have arrived at our temporary home here in South Africa. The house is a four bedroom, four bath two story, with a deck running around three sides of the upper story, great for wildlife viewing. This will act as our base for the next 20 days.
