Radisson Blu will just be another four star hotel. Some things do not really work well but it pretty has much what you need. The shower is slippery and there is really no working window and door that separates it from the bedroom itself. They delivered the wrong order in the evening and in the morning, no one was there to meet us when we arrived atbthe Tabu. The food is good still with your normal buffet breakfast.


We had a twenty minutes walk to the business centre with a few shops around. It has everything that you need but leaves you without any other option. Anyway, I have purchased a Nelson Mandela Autobiography book since I would like to really learn more about him. When we came back to the hotel, we were picked up by Pembury Tours Representative again and was driven to Eagles Craig, Shamwari Game Reserve. The drive took us an hour and fifteen minutes. 

Shamwari Game Reserve without a doubt is veryyy cold during these months. My hands are actually freezing. After having lunch and dinner here I am sure to say that they do offer asian cuisine here. Drinks are at an additional charge except during the game drive. They are also known for bird sightings thus the name, that they have this telescope in the room. Out of all the properties, this is also the best property that they have. We have seen the other two but it did not impress me much. 



The game drive however was wonderful, just marvelous. They have covered jeeps, probide ponchos, blankets and heated water bottle in the morning. They even have seat belts.

The game drive this afternoon, although short offered us what we really wanted to see. We finally saw lions and cheetah. There were two lions first lying around after eating the wild pig. Then two cheetahs laying around as well. They were yawning and were looking bored while looking at us. The last two lions which seemed to be a couple were running after a type of antelope. We followed then anyway but since we kept on bugging them, they decided to call it a night and lay around again lazily. 





Beth (a guy), is a very jolly person, I could say. We were really thankful that he showed us what we needed. We saw animals in a bigger amount compared to Kruger and Sabi Sabi. Never saw an elephant though but they claimed that big five can be seen here, plus the other cats such as cheetah and leopard.
