Day 9 – On to Cape Town

After a good night’s rest, I headed to the main lodge for breakfast and mentioned last night’s mystery visitor. One of our game drivers said it WAS an elephant. “That’s George – and there he is!!”, pointing out into the bush, and there he was – larger than life! We were told that “George” is an occasional visitor to Camp Kalahari; he likes to take a drink from the swimming pool, and sometimes he brings his friends along! After a few minutes, “George” reluctantly left after being shooed away by one of the game drivers.

This was our last official day on safari, but there was no time for a last game drive. After breakfast at Camp Kalahari, we flew out to Maun and then on to Cape Town, taking great memories and photos of our safari experience with us.

What a change from Camp Kalahari to the One&Only Cape Town, a beautiful 5-star hotel, where I had a large comfortable room with a great view of Table Mountain! I had an excellent beef filet dinner at Reuben’s in the hotel and took advantage of the luxurious spa bathroom to wash away the safari dust and grime.
