My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Room.
~~~~~
For this challenge I have decided to bring you some ‘roomy’ shots from South Africa, specifically Sausage Tree Safari Camp, where we spent the last six nights of our trip.
Sausage tree has five of these tents for accomodation…
complete with a queen size bed and sitting room outside.
It was from the tent door that I took this early morning photo.
Still, seeing a kangaroo this close to holiday accommodation would not be unusual in Australia.
Back to Sausage Tree, our tent came complete with indoor bathroom.
We could not have asked for anything better…
except maybe an indoor shower.
The outdoor shower was a novelty although a bit chilly in the evenings.
The fence at the left of the photo provides privacy to the shower room, however, animals can walk right up and have a look!
The beautiful Drakensberg Mountains provide a backdrop to the Camp.
Whether in the pool, or…
by the pool,
or lazing in the sun downstairs, the Drakensberg Mountains filled the background.
I’ve shown you all the other rooms in the camp, now for our breakfast and…
lunch room.
Although not clearly visible mountains were also wallpaper for this room. There are two other rooms of which I do not have a good photo and these are the bar room, which was behind me in most of the shots on the deck. The other is the dining room. The African Braii. Most nights we were dining by lamplight and although I walked past the braii several times each day I did not take any photographs. While a braii was described as a barbeque we were treated to a three-course meal every night.

Glad to hear of your enjoyable Tanzanian trip. Kenya and Tanzania was our original destination but changed, by the organisers, eight or nine months before we left.

I am sure you will enjoy it…particularity if it is a Kruger park Safari. Sausage Tree Camp is one of many private reserves joining Kruger. We are bound for Botswana in September with Imagine Africa 4 x 4 Safaris, again. Like you…can’t wait.

Wow! You really get to see a lot. Our trip will be my first and last to South Africa, so I hope I’m awake as much as possible. Best wishes for preparing this summer. Sometimes getting ready for a trip is part of the excitement.

Ours was not exactly planned…but when to opportunity arose we decided to take it. I think it will be a few years before another. Yes, you are correct. Planning is as exciting.

That looks and sound like a great vacation. Can you compare a kangaroo to an elephant? That must have been an amazing morning treat. Glad you had your camera ready.

Robin there is no comparison. Elephants are so gentle, intelligent and huge! The comparison was only our native wildlife.
