Hey you guys Phoebe here from Little Grey Box. Now Matt and I are at the
airport in Cape Town because we are going on Safari today... I just...
Alright, let's go check in for our flight and get ourselves up to Kruger and go on Safari
How you doing?
Nice to meet you
Morné
Morné, Matt
I feel like Indiana Jones
beautiful!
this is already awesome
Hi!
Good how are you?
Good, Jonathon
Lovely to meet you, I'm Phoebe
Are you scarfing down bread in the background?
I am
So this is already incredible on the way
from the airport to the lodge we were already, we have already seen elephants
we've seen lots of four-legged land dwellers
I can't remember all their names
When we get to the lodge it's absolutely beautiful. We met with the chef and he was like I'd
just like to confirm your dietary requirements and I was like....
So we're gonna have lunch and then we gonna go to our room we're gonna, we're gonna relax
we are gonna charge every battery we've got and then we're going to go out on a three-hour
safari it's going to be incredible I'm just having the best day my entire life
Alright
Um, it's a reasonably safe experience what we're doing as I mentioned safer
than driving around in the cities however to keep us safe from the vehicle
a couple of guidelines that you must follow all right
a visual five out of five
we're just driving along and then Morné said that's a lion
and that's a lion!
moving quickly
Hmmm, this could be interesting with this hyena
oh
He's over there watching her still
Thank you! Oh
They've set up an entire bar Matthew
Safari is quite addictive
If you truly like nature
the first time you see something crazy happening
then, then you're like... what else can I see?
That's a bull the looks of things
see the the horns or ossicles on top of the head
which is a sign of males
alright so we've been on
the road just for a couple of minutes and we came back to where we saw the
leopard yesterday his name is Hanelay, he's beautiful and he is still
here and Morné said that's very unusual that normally after he would
finish his kill he would just leave he was just bounce but he's still there
he's amazing
Alright, we are a few minutes down the road and we stopped again because there are
two beautiful young male elephants right on the side of the road they are so big
they're so gentle so Morné said they're using their tusks and their trunks to
break off leaves for a little snack Oh amazing
that is the most amazing thing like...
I'm just so happy
It's just the most amazing thing I just feel so happy
and so lucky that we got to see that and we get to be here it's just the best
Morné and Rector have found another lion which is the brother of the one
we saw earlier and he is mating so Simba and Nala are going at it
and this is incredible they have come up so close to the car and they are making
these sounds like these growling sounds and you can... I can't describe it like...
you feel it in your heart
So we've rolled up on this river bed and there is a beautiful herd of elephants
behind us and there's the most beautiful little baby one. The big cow was giving her a
scratch on the belly before with the foot it's just so gorgeous
You can see she's the matriarch as soon as she starts walking everybody else follows along
We've just got back from our first morning game drive see this beautiful breakfast table
overlooking this incredible setting and there are giraffes in the background
they're gone
Alright of course as soon as we like turn the camera on they
disappear but I'm telling you they're there and it's so special to sit here
and eat your breakfast with giraffes you can just see them, they're right there!
stay behind myself and Rector, um don't run so running is the worst thing
you can do follow our commands immediately so if you don't agree with
what we're asking you to do we can talk about it afterwards but at the time it's
the best thing to do if we're down by the hippos now it's quite safe then we
can chat and have a laugh but on the way to the hippos there's a number of things that could happen
Alright so the last thing on our safari wish list was to see a rhino and Morné
and Rector have found us this beautiful male white rhino he is gorgeous
he's gorgeous, so they think he would weigh the better
part of 2000 kilos he's huge! he's a whopper he's not skipping any meals

Ah, JP if you stay there you should get a good vis, he's walking straight towards you
Tonight is our last night here at the Lion Sands Game Reserve and we have had the best time
I can't even describe like coming here I was so excited and I guess my
expectations were low if anything I thought we would only see a couple of
animals but we have seen every single animal and I know a couple of those
sightings have been rare but still like I'm so grateful that we got to see them
all and just want to say a huge thank you to the guys at Lion Sands
specifically our amazing guide Morné and our tracker Rector
Thank you so much you guys were incredible and we wouldn't be able to
see everything without you guys so they just made the whole experience amazing
I just think if you are dreaming of doing a safari
there is no better way to do it than with these guys everything was just perfect it was
all my dreams come true I highly recommend look at the smile on my face
obviously I loved it
So we're just going to enjoy a very last dinner here we have
one more game drive tomorrow in the morning and then we are off to a Jo'Burg
which we are really excited for a brand new place for both of us so really
looking forward to getting out there and seeing the place
Thank you so much for watching you guys I hope you enjoyed this video
