Glen Afric Country Lodge

Hello Journeyers,
As all of you know by now Cedric and I love exploring and going away over weekends. We have been doing this less and less lately as our busy lives have taken over our social lives. It sucks to be honest and I miss our weekends away and I miss my blogging. I miss sharing the places we visit with all of you. A few weeks back we were on our way to family for the weekend and decided to turn it into a little adventure so we had a short pit stop.

We came across Glen Afric CL on SafariNow. I was super excited as they do elephant walks and interactions. I love elephants and I was sold. Glen Afric is only 40min from Johannesburg, so perfect for a nice weekend getaway. I was rather impressed with what they have to offer, from a variety of accommodation options to picnics and lion interactions. We were welcomed by friendly staff with warm welcome smiles and taken to our room.

It was like walking into a different century and I loved it. The paintings on the walls really intrigued me. Unfortunately I'm not a art guru and all I can say is I liked it. We headed to the deck to relax and de-stress from the traffic with a good glass of wine followed by a very tasty dinner.

I slept like a baby and loved waking up to the calls of the zebra's and birds. We packed our bags with heavy hearts and headed to breakfast which is included in the rate. The views are something else and we spotted the ellies, zebras and a few other antelope.

We really did enjoy our stay and I just want to thank the wonderful staff of Glen Afric for making our stay extra special. You will see us soon but this time in your tents, then stable blocks oh yes and then your cottages.

Klip en Kristal Guest House

Hello Journeyers,
About 4 weeks ago as we finally started our holiday we stopped over in Bela Bela for a night before heading to Marakele National Park. I found this beautiful Guest house, Klip en Kristal, on the SafariNow website and it didn't take much convincing before Cedric also agreed to go there. I completely forgot to book via Safari Now and quickly phoned the morning of to find out if they have availability. We were in luck.

I loved the place the moment we drove into the gate. It's beautifully set up and you almost feel like you are at home. The décor is interesting yet simple. From old books sitting on each table to the cute names of each room.

The room is nice and spacious and the high ceiling just made my day. Not to mention the chandeliers. I'm a sucker for a nice chandelier. Precision to detail make it extra special. It shows that they appreciate your support. With something as small as personalised labels on almost everything. The rooms have everything you need to be comfortable, from air-con to DSTV. Whether your stay is just for a night or to just escape the city and make a mini holiday of it. I fell in love with the bathroom, I love a nice bathroom, and if it has a nice bath even better. I love my tub soaks.

The prices include a very healthy and extremely tasty breakfast. Perfect to get you started for your journey. My tummy was full and happy for the next part of our road trip.

I would really suggest this Guest House for anyone who are planning to travel through Bela Bela, whether on holiday or business. Trust me, the friendly staff and management almost make you not want to leave.
