SABI SABI GAME RESERVE, South Africa: African Wildlife, Bush Lodge and a Luxury Safari

Posted by: kirsty_wilson in Africa, tags: Game Park, National Park, Safari, South Africa, Wildlife

Where is Sabi Sabi Game Reserve?

Wildlife seen at Sabi Sabi Game Reserve

Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is found some 500km north-east of Johannesburg in a small area of the Kruger National Park. Sabi Sabi was established during 1979 and offers luxurious accommodation and safaris to view the park and hopefully see the Big 5 animals of Africa – the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant. There will be plenty of opportunity to see many smaller species of wildlife and some quite close to the accommodation surrounds.

Sabi Sabi Game Reserve’s luxurious accommodation includes the Selati Camp, Little Bush Camp, Bush Lodge and Earth Lodge. Each of the sites include a number of suites and each with a presidential suite (with a private pool) other than the Little Bush Camp. Relax on the verandah and enjoy the views. Dine under the African night skies. Absorb Africa.

@execva @rippleali Seems to be unseasonal weather every where. I've spoken to friends in UK & Denmark & both said having Indian summer! in reply to execva #

@lmbva That's what my 8yro was like – which is why we have it on again!! The photography was amazing. It looked like a fairy land at times. in reply to lmbva #

@BtrVacationRent Snowed in summer?! Blimey it must get cold in winter then. It might have to be a #dream #travel spot I think!! in reply to BtrVacationRent #

@execva @Imbva I just loved the fox diving into the snow when he could hear the mouse below! What a shot. in reply to execva #

@snappysentences Yes, great shot. Then a coyote sniffed out a fish the otter had hidden beneath the ice shelf – amazing survival skills. in reply to snappysentences #

@execva @snappysentences @lmbva Also loved the filming of the lone wolf that intruded into the pack to…um…get a bit!

CANBERRA, Australia: Visit Floriade in Celebration of Spring

Posted by: kirsty_wilson in Australasia, tags: ACT, Australia, Festivals, Lakes

Where is Canberra?

Parliament House

Canberra is the political capital of Australia and located in the Australian Capital Territory. It was a purpose built city by US architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin. They were announced the winners of a competition to design the national capital during 1912. Canberra is well planned and demonstrates modern orderliness.

Some of the great sites to visit in Canberra include the grass topped Parliament House on Capital Hill, War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia, Lake Burley Griffin, National Botanic Garden, Old Parliament House, National Film & Sound Archive and the Australian Institute of Sport. If you have access to wheels there’s also some great places to visit just out of Canberra.

A terrific time to visit Canberra is during September and October – early Spring. For a period of 4 weeks, Canberra becomes Australia’s drawcard to celebrate the arrival of Spring with the Floriade Festival.
